Chocolate & Cheese Polka Dot Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
This cake is an elegant relative of the 'Boci Slice' (Cow Patch Cake). The cocoa sponge and cheese filling bake together, creating an exciting pattern. Since the cheese is heavier than the batter, it sinks slightly, creating beautiful spots (like cow patches) when sliced. A simple mixed batter, but the dual textures make it special.

Tip: Do not overmix!
4 ✓

Filling: Mix the cheese with 1/4 cup sugar, vanilla, and if needed, a little sour cream or an egg to make it creamy.

5 ✓

Pour the dark batter into the pan, then spoon dollops of cheese into it.

Tip: The more spots you make, the prettier the slice.
6 ✓

Bake for 40-45 minutes (toothpick test).

Recipe FAQ

Why did all the cheese sink to the bottom?
Your batter was too thin, or you placed the cheese in too large mounds. Use a smaller spoon!
