Ingredients:
- 95g sugar
- 4 eggs
- 35g butter
- 175g Philadelphia cheese
- 70g milk
- 1 tbsp grated lemon peel
- 40g flour
- 15g cornstarch
Preparation:
- Begin by lining a non-removable cake mold with baking paper.
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
- In a pot, bring water to a boil. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and Philadelphia cheese, allowing them to melt together.
- Add the butter to the cheese and milk mixture, stirring until it’s well incorporated. Allow the mixture to cool.
- To the cooled mixture, add the egg yolks and grated lemon peel. Mix everything together thoroughly.
- Sift the flour and cornstarch into the mixture, ensuring there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg whites together with the sugar until you achieve a firm meringue.
- Gently fold the meringue into the cheese mixture, incorporating it little by little to prevent the meringue from deflating.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared mold and place it on a baking tray. Fill the tray with water, creating a bain-marie effect to ensure even baking.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 80 minutes. If the top begins to brown too much, you can cover it with a piece of aluminum foil.
- After 80 minutes, open the oven door slightly and let the cake sit for an additional 15 minutes before removing it.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the mold.
