Preparing the base: - Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. In a bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt, then beat them until frothy. - Continue mixing and gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar until you achieve a stiff, shiny meringue. - In another bowl, beat the yolks to aerate them, then gently fold them into the egg white meringue using a spatula, being careful not to ruin the texture. - In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the carob powder, chopped walnuts, and baking powder. Begin to incorporate this mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently. 2. Baking the base: - Grease the cake pan with a little oil to prevent sticking. Pour the mixture into the pan and level the surface. - Bake the base in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes. Check if it is done by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the base is perfect. 3. Preparing the white cream: - In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with the vanilla sugar until it thickens. - Soak the gelatin in cold water according to the instructions on the package, then melt it in a bain-marie. - Add the melted gelatin to the cottage cheese and mix well. Then, gently fold in the whipped cream, being careful to maintain the fluffiness. 4. Assembling the cake: - Once the base has completely cooled, place it back in the cake pan. Pour the white cream over the cooled base and level the surface. - Refrigerate the cake for 2 hours or preferably overnight. 5. Preparing the dots: - Whip the heavy cream with the vanilla sugar and carob powder until it becomes firm. - Soak the gelatin in cold water, then melt it in a bain-marie and add it to the whipped cream mixture, mixing well. - Place the mixture in a piping bag and form small circles on the surface of the cottage cheese cream. 6. Serving: - Once the cake has cooled and the dots have been added, remove it from the pan and cut into thin slices. This cake is wonderful served with a cup of tea or coffee, but it can also be an excellent dessert after an elegant dinner. Practical Tips - Gelatin: Make sure the gelatin is well-hydrated and melted before adding it to the mixtures. This will help achieve a fine texture. - Nuts: You can substitute the walnuts with ground almonds or hazelnuts, depending on your preferences. - Carob powder: This adds a special flavor to the cake. If you don't have carob, cocoa will work just as well. - Sugar-free version: You can use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup to reduce the sugar content. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I replace the cottage cheese? Yes, you can use mascarpone or a low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version. 2. How can I adapt the recipe to make it vegan?
