Cooking time: 4 hours 30 minutes

Difficulty level: 3 out of 5

Ingredients (12 servings)
250 g Rhubarb, cut into thin slices
70 g Sugar
50 ml Orange juice
120 g Butter cookies
60 g Butter
700 g Cream cheese, about 4 packs of Philadelphia
100 g Sugar
500 ml Sour cream
220 g White chocolate, coarsely grated
10 g Cornstarch meal
3 Large eggs
Pulp from 2 vanilla pods
1 pinch Salt

Preparation:

  • Bring the rhubarb, sugar and orange juice to the boil in a pan. Simmer over a low heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is very soft and the liquid has thickened a little. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 160 °C.
  • Crumble the butter cookies in a food processor (alternatively, put them in a tea towel and beat them with a rolling pin until they are well crumbled). Mix the butter and cookie crumbs. Cover the base of a cake tin about 23 cm in diameter with the cookie mixture. Press down firmly and bake for about 8 minutes until the base has taken on some colour. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
  • Mix the Philadelphia and sugar well in a blender. Add the sour cream, white chocolate, cornflour, vanilla and salt and mix until smooth. Add the eggs and stir briefly until everything is well mixed.
  • Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the cake tin and cover with half of the rhubarb sauce. Using a knife, carefully draw a marble pattern into the mixture using circular movements. Repeat with the rest of the cream cheese mixture and the rest of the rhubarb.
  • Bake the cake until the cream cheese mixture has set in the centre, about 60 to 70 minutes.
  • Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then remove the cake from the edge with a knife. Leave to cool for a further hour before lifting out.
