Desert - Zebra Cake by Nidia M. - Recipia
To create a delicious and refined cake, the first step is to prepare the layers. Start by separating the eggs, being careful not to mix the yolks with the whites. In a large bowl, beat the yolks with 3 tablespoons of hot water until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. Now, add the granulated sugar and vanilla sugar, continuing to mix vigorously to incorporate them well. The next step involves the flour, which should be mixed with the pudding powder to avoid lumps. Add this flour mixture to the yolk mixture and gently fold with a spatula to obtain a homogeneous composition.

In another bowl, beat the egg whites until a firm foam forms that stands on the mixer blades. This foam will give the layers an airy texture. Carefully fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture, mixing with up-and-down motions to avoid losing air from the foam. Pour the mixture into a baking pan lined with parchment paper on the bottom and bake in a preheated oven at 190 degrees Celsius for about 25 minutes or until the layer is well browned and passes the toothpick test. After baking, let the layer cool in the pan to retain moisture.

To prepare the creams, mix the yolks with sugar and milk in a saucepan, bringing them to a boil over low heat. Once the mixture starts to boil, remove it from the heat and add the dissolved gelatin, mixing well until fully integrated. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then fold in the fresh cheese mixed with lemon juice for a fresh and flavorful taste. Finally, add the whipped cream, gently mixing to maintain the airy texture.

Divide the cream into two equal portions and add cocoa to one of them, mixing well to achieve an even color. Now that you have all the components ready, it's time to assemble the cake. Place the layer on a platter and surround it with a cake ring, ensuring it is well secured. Start assembling the cake by placing a ladle of white cream in the center, followed by a ladle of chocolate cream. Continue to alternate layers of cream until the ingredients are finished, being careful to distribute evenly. Once the cake is assembled, refrigerate it for a few hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to blend perfectly. So get ready to enjoy a delicious cake that will surely impress everyone!
