Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients:
For the base:
- 200 g cocoa biscuits
- 100 g melted butter
- 3 eggs
- 200 g sugar
- 250 g cottage cheese (can be replaced with mascarpone cheese for a creamier texture)
- 100 g sour cream (for a richer taste)
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
For the grated dough:
- 150 g flour
- 50 g cocoa
- 100 g cold butter, diced
- 80 g sugar
- 1 egg
Preparation method:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Prepare a baking tray of about 30x20 cm, greasing it with butter or lining it with baking paper.
2. Preparing the base: In a large bowl, combine the crushed cocoa biscuits with the melted butter. Mix well until you get a moist composition. Place this mixture in the prepared tray, pressing it down well with a spatula to form an even layer.
3. Preparing the cheese filling: In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until frothy. Add the cottage cheese, sour cream, baking powder, and vanilla essence. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition. Pour this filling over the biscuit base in the tray.
4. Preparing the grated dough: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, sugar, and diced cold butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles crumbs. Add the egg and mix until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
5. Assembling the cake: Grate the cocoa dough over the cheese filling, ensuring that you cover the entire surface evenly.
6. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the cake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cocoa dough on top becomes firm and slightly crispy. A useful tip is to do the toothpick test: insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
7. Cooling and serving: Allow the cake to cool in the tray for 15-20 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve with a fruit sauce or a dollop of sour cream for an even more sophisticated taste.
Personalized version: You can add chocolate chips or nuts to the cheese filling for added texture and flavor. Also, for a contrast of flavors, try adding a bit of lemon zest to the cheese filling.
Rudy's cake is a quick, hearty, and extremely tasty dessert, perfect to be enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee or tea. Experiment with the ingredients and serving to create your unique version of this classic dessert!
