Directions
-
In a large bowl, combine 4 eggs, 200 g sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the sugar dissolves. Add 200 ml milk and 200 ml vegetable oil to the mixture, stirring until well combined. Gradually sift in 380-400 g flour and 15 g baking powder, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease a 22x32 cm baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
-
In a separate bowl, combine 400 g curd cheese (or yogurt), 100 g sugar, and 2 eggs. Mix until smooth. Add 2-3 tablespoons of corn starch and mix again until fully incorporated. Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over the batter in dollops. Add berries on top, spreading them evenly over the surface.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
