For the curd cream:
- 1 large orange;
- 400 g cottage cheese (or mascarpone, or ricotta);
- 50 g fat sour cream;

- 150 ml milk;
- 2 teaspoons agar agar;
- 1 g vanillin;

For decoration:
- 200 ml 33% cream;

Step-by-step cooking recipe:
Step 1:
Using a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar for 6-7 minutes, until the mass increases 3 times in volume. Sift the flour onto the whipped mixture and mix gently.
Step 2:
Line a springform pan with a diameter of 18 centimeters with non-stick parchment and lay out the dough. Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool the biscuit on a wire rack.
Step 3:
Squeeze the juice out of the orange and strain. You will need approximately 170 g of juice. Leave 40 ml of juice for soaking the biscuit.
Step 4:
Pour the orange juice into a saucepan and add 1 teaspoon of agar agar. Leave for 10 minutes.
Step 5:
Pour in 50 g of sugar, heat to a boil, cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Step 6:
Mix cottage cheese, 50 g of sugar, sour cream, add a pinch of salt. The cottage cheese needs to be smooth like paste, without lumps; with mascarpone or ricotta it also turns out very tasty.
Step 7:
Pour milk into a saucepan, add 1 teaspoon of agar agar and vanillin. Leave for 10 minutes. Pour in 50 g of sugar, heat to a boil, cook for 5 minutes over low heat. Divide the curd mass in half. Beat one half with hot milk. You need to whisk quickly, as the agar stabilizes at a temperature of about 36 degrees Celsius.
Step 8:
To decorate, pour a little orange syrup with agar into the silicone mold.
Step 9:
Pour the curd cream over the orange syrup and put the mold in the refrigerator.
Step 10:
Beat the remaining cottage cheese with hot orange syrup and agar. To soak the biscuit, pour a little sugar into the orange juice, heat to a boil, and boil for 3 minutes. If the cake is for adults, then strong alcohol can be added to the syrup. Assembling the cake: place a sponge cake on the bottom of the mold, soak it in orange syrup. Then spread the curd mass with agar, let it harden a little and pour the curd cream with orange syrup on top.
Step 11:
Place the cake in the refrigerator for several hours.
Step 12:
Whip the cream and transfer it to a pastry bag. Decorate the curd cake with oranges: put two-layer jelly in the center, decorate around with whipped cream and candied fruits. Bon appetit!
