Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a round 8-inch (20cm) cake pan with parchment paper.
- Break the white chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt it in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval to ensure even melting.
- Once melted, set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the melted white chocolate to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined.
- Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Place the egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl and set them aside.
- Add the egg yolks to the cream cheese and white chocolate mixture, blending until fully incorporated.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This means the egg whites should hold their shape and be glossy.
- Gradually add the whipped egg whites to the cream cheese mixture in three parts. Gently fold the egg whites into the mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the fluffy egg whites. This step is crucial for maintaining the cake's light and airy texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Tap the cake pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve plain or dusted with powdered sugar, if desired.
There you have it – a simple yet incredibly delicious three-ingredient cake that will impress anyone who tries it. The combination of white chocolate, cream cheese, and eggs results in a rich and creamy dessert that’s sure to become a favorite.
