Everyone loves homemade cakes, although almost everyone is lazy to prepare them because they think that it will take a lot of time and effort. Therefore, I would like to offer you a simple recipe for a wonderful and delicious cake that can be prepared at home in two hours or even faster. Its originality lies in the fact that it has only one shortbread, and curd balls are baked into it, which is extremely beautiful when cut, because the dough will be chocolate and the balls will be snow-white. You can use whipped cream as a cream, and to make it even tastier, add the juice of 1 orange or half a lemon. But you can also top the cake with custard or sour cream. Try it!
For the test:
- Flour – 250 g
- Testicles – 4 pcs. + 1 protein
- Drink or sour cream – 150 ml
- Butter – 200 g
- Sugar – 3/4 tbsp.
- Milk or water – 50 ml.
- Cocoa – 3 tbsp.
- Soda – 1 tsp.
- Vanilla sugar – 4 g
Curd balls:
- Cottage cheese – 200 g
- Sugar – 1/3 tbsp.
- Yolk – 1 pc.
- Walnuts, shelled seeds or coconut flakes – 50 g
Cream:
- Cream or sour cream 33% – 200 ml
- Juice of 1 orange
Step-by-step recipe preparation:
Grind the yolk with sugar, add cottage cheese and chopped nuts, coconut flakes or seeds, mix until smooth.
Make balls about 3 cm in diameter from the mixture and place them in the freezer while you prepare the dough.
Immediately turn on the oven at 180ºC. And we will need a mixer.
Prepare the dough: beat the butter with sugar and vanilla, add all the eggs and the remaining white one at a time and, continuing to beat, add the mixture of flour and baking powder.
The dough comes out with a mixture of thick sour cream.
Divide the dough into two equal parts, and to one of them add cocoa diluted in milk or warm water.
Line the mold with parchment, grease with oil and lay out a layer of snow-white dough. It needs to be leveled.
Now the best part is to carefully pour the chocolate dough over the snow-white dough, place it not at one point so as not to fall through, but sparingly, over the entire surface.
We also level it, trying to create an even layer, and place the curd balls on top.
Now, carefully press the balls into the dough, but try not to push them all the way through - about two-thirds. Bake for 45 minutes and then cool completely.
Whisk the chilled cream and orange juice until fluffy. You can use sour cream, but fatty one.
We first fill all the recesses on the surface of the cake with the purchased cream, and then decorate it by squeezing the cream into droplets with a pastry bag.
Correctly whipped cream will provide not only a beautiful appearance of the dessert, but also a guarantee that the cream will hold and will not flow. There are certain subtleties of beating them, observing which you can really avoid mistakes.
Sprinkle it perfectly with cocoa, do it to taste - you can sprinkle it a little, you can add it a little thicker.
We store the cake in the cold so that the cream does not spoil.
Bon appetit everyone!
How to choose cottage cheese?
To make the “Morning Dew” cake tasty and healthy, you need to use excellent, high-quality ingredients. Because its base is cottage cheese, it is necessary to approach its choice with all responsibility. Now there is a large selection of this product on store shelves, but not every pack can really be called good cottage cheese. Therefore, before purchasing it, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- Package. Preference should be given to metallized packaging rather than cardboard. An ideal option is a plastic vacuum container. In such packaging, the product retains more freshness and does not deteriorate as quickly.
- Like any fermented milk product, cottage cheese has a short shelf life. Usually it does not exceed 21 days, but it may be less. Therefore, pay attention that it is stored only in refrigerated display cases.
- Ingredients: milk and starter (lactic acid bacteria). There does not have to be any vegetable fats in the composition.
- Color – snow-white. If the fat content is high (more than 10%), then the color may be creamy yellow.
- The mixture can be different: from pasty to crumbly - it all depends on the fat content and amount of water. The higher the fat content and the less water, the more crumbly it is.
Of course, if possible, it is better to buy farm cottage cheese. It is much tastier and healthier, although it costs more.
Why doesn't the cream whip?
Some housewives may encounter this problem - the cream cannot be whipped either by hand or with a mixer. Of course, a lot depends on the properties of the cream itself:

I immediately took 1.5 tsp of baking powder and increased the portion by 3 times. It turned out great.
It came out very dry and tasteless. The coconut old lady is also superfluous.
The recipe is underdeveloped)))) For me, starch is completely unnecessary. To make the cake juicier, I added a little grated chocolate to the dough.
This recipe turned out to be a pie with a chocolate base. Narrow and hard. It feels like there's an ingredient missing from the recipe, or there just aren't enough supplies. Or because of the small amount of baking powder. The balls came out like gel, translucent and cotton-like in taste. And the pie is hard and rubbery.
I made the cake completely according to the recipe: Firstly, the chocolate dough is extremely not enough, you need to double the proportions, secondly, the cottage cheese balls came out like closter, wadded and not tasty, it’s better without starch, the starch transformed them into “gel”. Yes, the dough is fluffy, the time indicated is correct.
A very tasty dessert! I just made the sponge cake according to my own recipe, using the hot method. And this is an extremely simple recipe to make for such a delicious chocolate dessert.
I prepared this product and it turned out extremely tasty. But there is a small “but” - the dough is extremely insufficient, so if you want the pie to be sufficient in size, you need 2 times more dough. After making it, it is better to grease it with fondant, having cooled it beforehand. The balls did not get their shape at all, so I made two layers - curd on top. The pie tastes much better if it sits overnight (that is, at night) in the refrigerator.
nothing like this dough is just right, at the end you add the whipped whites into the dough and the mass immediately increases 2-3 times, here in the photo there are even dimples and I have an ordinary hat that fits exactly

Making a cake step by step
Conventionally, the entire process of making a cake with curd insides can be divided into three steps, the first of which is precisely the formation of balls:
- Grind vanilla sugar with cottage cheese, add yolks;
- Add 3 tablespoons of starch, stir well until smooth.
- Make small balls of similar size from the sweet curd mass, filling them with any nut if desired. You can avoid the cottage cheese sticking to your hands by wetting them with cold water before handling the filling.
- Line the prepared baking pan with parchment, grease it with butter and carefully place the curd balls in it at a small distance from each other.
Start making the watery chocolate dough:
- Mix flour with cocoa powder and baking powder;
- Beat the chilled whites with sugar until fluffy;
- Carefully add the yolks to the mixture one at a time and continue beating for a couple more minutes;
- Combine the bulk ingredients with the egg mass and beat everything well again with a mixer at low speed.
- Pour the batter into the mold so that it spreads and fills the voids between the balls.
- Place the pan in an oven preheated to 180°C and leave the future cake to bake for approximately 40 minutes.
Let's move on to the third and final manufacturing step - making the chocolate glaze:
- Melt the butter;
- Add sugar mixed with cocoa to it, stir until the sugar is completely dissolved;
- Add sour cream to the mixture, heat without boiling and remove the pan from the heat.
After checking the cake for doneness, you can remove it from the oven. After cooling the chocolate cake with curd balls, pour it with chocolate glaze, carefully spreading it over the surface of the sponge cake. It’s not scary if it drips a little down the edges of the cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator for several hours. The cake must be served cool.
How special the pieces of cake look when cut! Despite the simple recipe, you get a real culinary masterpiece.

Note to the hostess

- Instead of nuts, you can fill the balls with candied fruits, marmalade, dried apricots or prunes.
- By mixing the curd mass with coconut flakes, you will get a fragrant sponge cake with curd coconut balls.
- A sponge cake with curd balls can be covered not with chocolate, but with sour cream glaze, the making of which does not require any special skill. Just mix 4 tbsp. sour cream with a fat content of at least 30% with ½ cup of sweet powder.
