  2. 02

    Mix the cheese, eggs, and sugar

    If the twaróg is lumpy, press it through a sieve or process it until smoother. Beat the cheese with the eggs and sugar on low speed until creamy, taking care not to overbeat.

  3. 03

    Finish the filling

    Add the cream, vanilla extract, finely grated lemon zest, and cornstarch. Mix on low speed until combined.

  4. 04

    Assemble the cake

    Pour the filling over the chilled base and smooth the surface.

  5. 05

    Bake

    Bake in the center of a preheated 170 °C oven for 60–70 minutes. Turn off the oven when the edges are set and the center still wobbles slightly when the pan is moved.

    Cool and chill

    Leave the cake in the switched-off oven for 1 hour with the door ajar. Then let it cool completely and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours.
