Dough: We start by preparing the dough, an essential element in our recipe. Put the butter, which should be at room temperature for easier mixing, in a large bowl. Add the sugar and egg, then mix the ingredients together until smooth and fluffy with an airy texture. It's important to mix well so that the sugar dissolves completely into the creamy butter to ensure an even and fluffy cake. Once we have this foam, we add the milk gradually, continuing to mix. Next, we start to incorporate the cocoa, baking powder and rum essence, which will give our cake an intense and aromatic flavor. Finally, we add the flour a little at a time, mixing with a spatula or mixer so that the dough becomes homogeneous, but not overmixed.

Cream: Now we turn our attention to the delicious cream. Put the cheese, which can be ricotta or cottage, in a separate bowl and mix it with the sugar and egg yolks until it becomes a smooth and creamy paste. Then add the mascarpone, which will add a rich texture and delicate flavor, and the grated lemon zest, which will intensify the flavors. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff and fluffy. Fold them into the cream cheese, but very carefully, using a spatula to keep the air out of the egg whites.

Preparing the cake: Cut the peach halves into thin slices. Line a 26 cm round baking pan with baking paper to prevent the cake from sticking. Pour about 3/4 of the batter into the pan, leveling it evenly. Spoon the cream cheese cream cheese evenly over the entire surface, then add the peach slices, which will provide a delicious contrast to the cream. Finally, pour the remaining batter on top, making sure it is evenly distributed.

Baking: Preheat the oven to a medium temperature, ideal for baking the cake. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. It is advisable to test with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Once baked, remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly. Finally, dust with sugar and serve with confidence, enjoying a refined and tasty dessert. Enjoy, dear friends!
