To obtain a delicious and fragrant cake, start by soaking the raisins in rum to give them an intense flavor and a softer texture. They will add a rich taste and a hint of sweetness to your cake. While the raisins are hydrating, prepare the baking tray: line it with parchment paper, making sure to lift the edges to prevent the dough from sticking.
In a bowl, mix the sifted flour with the baking powder and powdered sugar. This dry mixture is the base of the cake and will ensure a light and fluffy texture. In another bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the vanilla sugar and drained raisins, mixing well until you achieve a homogeneous composition. Now, in the prepared tray, place half of the sliced butter to form a layer of fat that will enhance the flavor.
Evenly sprinkle half of the flour mixture over the butter, then add the cottage cheese mixture, followed by a generous layer of sour cream, which will bring a pleasant creaminess to the cake. Make sure to level each layer well so that the cake has a beautiful shape after baking. Once you have finished with these layers, sprinkle the remaining flour mixture on top, creating a crispy crust.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This step is essential to add volume and aeration to the cake. Gradually add the egg yolks, continuing to beat, then gradually incorporate the milk. This mixture will form a sauce that will seep through the layers of the cake, enriching it with a pleasant moisture. Finally, add small pieces of butter from the other half left, to intensify the flavor.
Place the tray in the preheated oven at 170-175 degrees Celsius and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cake is nicely browned and passes the toothpick test. Once baked, let the cake cool on a rack to avoid moisture buildup. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for a more festive appearance. Carefully slice and enjoy each piece of this delicacy that will delight everyone's taste buds!
