200 g cane sugar
50 g corn starch
15 g baking powder

Preparation of the cake base

Preheat the oven up to 170°C.
Mix all dry ingredients.
Add the oil and mix, so that you get a crumbly mixture (“Streusel”).
Now pour in the water and knead the mass into a sticky dough.
Grease the springform pan or line it with baking paper. Use your hands to press the dough into the corners, creating a thing edge and a flat cake base.
Use a fork to pierce several holes in the bottom of the dough so that the remaining air can escape and there is no air hole underneath after baking.
Bake the cake base for 10 min. The dough should have the consistency of a freshly baked biscuit.

Preparation of the cake filling

Peel the lemons with a peeler so that the yellow outer peel can be used. Throw away the white lower layer.
Squeeze the lemon to get out the juice and mix it with the cashews and the peel in a blender for 1-2 min until a creamy, soft texture is obtained.
Now add silk tofu, soy yogurt and keep mixing.
Put the mixture in a closed jar and let it rest for 6-8 hours in room temperature.
In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients.
Add the liquid mixture into the dry mixture and mix thoroughly.

Preparation of the cake

Preheat the oven up to 160°C.
Put a large tray filled with water on the lowest part of the oven.
Pour the cake filling on top of the cake base.
Bake for about 40 min until the top of the cake is slightly browned and springy and pudding-like.
Before serving, let completely cool out, because the cheesy lemon cake tastes cool the best.
Serve with homemade compote, marmelade or fresh fruits.Enjoy! 🙂
