  • Grease and flour a springform pan.
  • In a larger bowl mix the flour and the baking powder.
  • Add the butter, cocoa powder, sugar and milk.

  • Mix the cream cheese mixture with the whipped egg whites gently.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge. Cut it in two halves.
  • Grate the first half of the dough in the pan. Spread the cheese filling over the dough evenly. Grate the second half of the dough over the top.
  • Bake for about 45-50 minutes until middle is set but still wobbles slightly when moved.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

  1. I can vouch for Petra's recipe 110%. It is actually a Polish recipe which I had misplaced and could not remember it's Polish name. Having searched the net for ages, I quite by accident stumbled across it @ Zoom Yummy. To make a lighter, creamy version I use half cream cheese and half ricotta and replace vanilla bean paste for the vanilla essence. I did inform Petra that I had made these changes and she said that she would also try them the next time she made it.<br/><br/>My friends, do yourself (2) favours and make this special occasion desert (or for no reason at all except to indulge yourself) it deserves its 5 star rating and visit Petra's blog.<br/><br/>Warm regards
