Rákóczi Curd Cheese Cake

1. Knead a shortcrust from the flour, butter, icing sugar and egg yolks, then rest it.

2. Roll the dough into a tray and pre-bake it.

3. For the filling, mix the curd cheese with sugar, egg yolks, vanilla sugar, lemon zest and raisins.

4. Spread the filling over the pre-baked base and bake at 180°C until set.

5. Beat the egg whites with the sugar into a stiff meringue.

6. Brush the cooled cake with apricot jam and pipe the meringue in a lattice pattern.

7. Dry it briefly in the oven, then cut into squares and serve.

Tip: The lattice meringue is the hallmark of this cake.
