To create an irresistible delight, we start by preparing a fragrant dough using the previously mentioned ingredients, except for the raisins. In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast, mixing them well to combine. Gradually add the warm milk and eggs, mixing with a spatula or by hand until you obtain a smooth and elastic dough. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, then let it rise in a warm place, covered with a towel, until it doubles in volume.
Meanwhile, prepare the baking tray. Grease it with lard or line it with baking paper, ensuring it is well covered to prevent the cake from sticking. Preheat the oven to a medium temperature, around 180 degrees Celsius. Once the dough has risen, roll it out into an even sheet and carefully place it in the tray. Sprinkle the raisins on top of the dough, making sure they are evenly distributed. Gently press with your palm to integrate them into the dough, then use a fork to prick the dough here and there, helping it bake evenly.
Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until it is just lightly golden but not fully baked. Remove the tray from the oven and let the cake cool slightly until it is warm, during which time you can prepare the delicious cream on top. Beat the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until you achieve a firm meringue. Carefully fold in the ground nuts and grated chocolate, being careful not to destroy the airy texture of the foam.
Cover the cake with this cream, sprinkling some grated chocolate on top that you reserved from the initial amount. Place the tray back in the oven at a lower temperature, during which the meringue will start to brown and become firm. Bake until the meringue is golden and the cake is fully baked. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. It is important to cut it while it is warm to prevent the meringue from crumbling. Mark the slices with a sharp knife and enjoy each delicious piece, where the flavor of the raisins perfectly blends with the sweetness of the chocolate meringue. This cake will surely become a favorite among family and friends!
