Angel's Tears Farmer Cheese Cake

This recipe was automatically translated from Romanian. View original here

It is a very popular recipe on Russian websites and translates as "Angel's Tears" - because the souffle about an hour after baking leaves on the surface some "tears", drops of melted sugar - something that makes the cake finer and more beautiful.

I would say that in fact the popularity of the cake is not in these "tears", but in the wonderful egg whites meringue that turn a simple tart with cheese into a special cake.

We all enjoyed it, all the ingredients combine wonderfully and I would say it is a success, aromatic, sweet, soft - perfect!

Step 4

- mix well for about 2-3 minutes to be a uniform and creamy composition.

Step 5

The dough is spread with your hands in an oven tray - I used a round tray with removable walls, 28 cm in diameter.

Gently lift the edges, as far as the cheese filling comes, about 1.5 cm.

Step 7

About 5 minutes before baking the cake, beat the egg whites from the 3 eggs with 5 tablespoons of powdered sugar.

Let me explain once again how to do it: beat the egg whites hard with the mixer, then add a little powdered sugar and mix until firm.

Step 8

Put this composition over the cake, with a teaspoon I made small piles - bring it close with the "bottom" slightly of the egg whites and pull up - see the picture.
