Ingredients
Manufacturing stages
Sift flour with baking powder and add chilled butter.
Grind into crumbs.
Grind the egg and sugar well.
Add the egg and sugar mixture to the flour and butter crumbs and knead the dough.
Wrap the finished dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Now let's start making the curd inside for the cake. We rub the cottage cheese through a sieve.
Separate 3 yolks from the whites.
In a bowl, combine the yolks, sugar, semolina and vanilla sugar.
Grind well with a spoon.
Add sour cream and egg-sugar mixture to the pureed cottage cheese.
Mix everything thoroughly with a spoon or mixer.
We cover the bottom of the springform pan with baking paper (I have a diameter of 24 cm) and grease the entire pan with vegetable oil. We take out our dough, which has been in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Distribute the dough along the bottom of the mold and make sides.
Place the curd insides on top and smooth over the entire pan. Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 30 minutes.
After 20 minutes after we put the mold in the oven, we begin to prepare the meringue. Lightly beat the egg whites with a mixer and add 1 tablespoon of sweet powder.
We continue to beat the whites, adding evenly the other two tablespoons of sweet powder. You will get a stable foam.
After 30 minutes, we take out our mold and reduce the degrees in the oven to 160. Place the whipped whites in a hot mold on top of the curd inside and distribute it moderately. Then, using a spoon, we slightly “excite” the whites; when baking, the top of the cake will look more attractive. Place the pan back in the oven for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, turn off the oven and open the door. We keep our cake pan in this form for 1-1.5 hours. If the whites settle slightly, don't worry, this is normal. Then we take out our cake pan and can already see the appearance of golden droplets. If drops have not yet appeared, do not worry, they will certainly appear, the process is not over yet.
Cover our form with a lid from the pan and put it in the refrigerator until it cools completely. I leave it overnight (that is, in the dark) .
We take the cake out of the mold, put it on a plate and admire “Tears of an Angel”.
We cut it into pieces and treat our relatives to an amazingly tender and tasty delicacy.
Bon appetit everyone!

How to bake a tender curd cake “Tears of an Angel”
This is not a pie or a cake, but wonderful magic in the full sense of the word. I saw the recipe in the ordering table and couldn’t pass it by - I was immediately intrigued. Having looked at the recipe on the Internet, I was very hesitant that I would succeed in this beauty, because the pre-war oven was on its last legs, but I decided to do it anyway.
And now I offer you the “Tears of an Angel” curd cake, which turned out to be a success for me. It received a fascinating name due to a special property - as it cools, caramel teardrops begin to form on the surface of the cake.
The taste of the “Tears of an Angel” curd cake exceeded all expectations: a sandy crumbly base that did not soften even due to the rather watery interior, a delicate curd layer, and an airy protein soufflé on top. And, of course, the highlight of the cake is the “tears of an angel.”
How to prepare “Curd cake “Tears of an Angel”” step by step with photos at home
To make the “Tears of an Angel” cottage cheese cake, we will need the following products: butter, cottage cheese, wheat flour, granulated sugar, sour cream, vanillin, chicken eggs (3 yolks for the filling and 3 whites for the soufflé), semolina, sweet powder.
Combine premium wheat flour with baking powder.
Cut the cooled butter into cubes and add to the flour.
It is best to create crumbs using a food processor - this way your hands will not come into contact with the dough and the base will be airy and crumbly. Almost 1 minute and the crumb is ready. If you don’t have a food processor, quickly grind the flour and butter until small crumbs form.
Beat 1 egg with sugar and add to the flour crumbs. Now our task is to combine these ingredients into a plastic dough. I did this, again, in a combine.
The dough is ready - put it in the cold for half an hour, and in the meantime prepare the filling.
In another bowl, combine all the products that make up the inside: cottage cheese, sugar, sour cream, semolina, vanillin and 3 yolks.
All ingredients can be mixed with a spoon, hands, mixer or using a food processor. I chose the extreme option. What I got was a fairly watery mass (sour cream 20% fat). I think it all depends on the cottage cheese - mine was 9%.
The dough has cooled. We take it out and put it in a springform pan, press it to the bottom and at the same time make small sides. For insurance, I placed parchment around the edges of the pan. The diameter of my pan is 18 cm - I wanted the cake to be tall. You can create a larger shape, but even then the height of the product will be even lower.
Pour the curd filling onto the dough and place it in a preheated oven to bake for about 30-40 minutes. Temperature - 180°C.
When the inside of the oven is set on the sides, but the middle is jiggling (after about 30 minutes), you need to cook the whites.
Beat the chilled 3 egg whites until foamy, adding sweet powder evenly. By increasing the speed of the mixer, we achieve stable peaks; in other words, when turning the bowl over, the protein mass must remain in place. Moreover, it does not have to leak. If this is observed, beat further. The photo shows that the turrets from the rims hold their shape and do not fall off - which means everything was made correctly.
Remove the pan from the oven and reduce the temperature to 140°C. In my gas oven this means below medium gas.
Spoon the whipped whites onto the curd layer. You don’t have to try too hard to level the surface - it will be even more attractive. Place in the oven for another 15 minutes.
In the time given to us, the top of the cake will brown, but underneath the crust it will be moist. We take the cake out of the oven and leave it alone until it cools COMPLETELY (. ) .
Look at this magic for us: while the cake was cooling, droplets of caramel formed on the surface of the soufflé. And if you put the cake in the cold, there will be even more of them and they will be even more noticeable. Just a mind-blowing recipe and the most delicious cake!
