Step 1
First, let's prepare the cottage cheese balls. Rub the cottage cheese through a sieve. Add egg and sugar, mix thoroughly. You can add coconut flakes if you like, but it's just as delicious without them.

Now let's move on to the batter. Separate the yolks from the whites and place them into different containers. Add half the amount of sugar to the yolks and beat until white.

Step 4
We start beating the egg whites. Do not add all the sugar at once; instead, add it in small portions gradually, as this helps the whites to whip better. Here's what I did: I poured the egg whites into a bowl, added a pinch of salt (salt helps the whites to whip even better), and used a mixer to beat them until a small amount of foam appeared. Then I added a little sugar and continued beating. After a while, I added more sugar, beat again, and then added the remaining sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, stable foam formed.

Melt the chocolate and add it to the beaten egg yolks. Now we need to combine the beaten yolks and egg whites. Do this carefully, adding the yolks to the whites in portions and gently mixing slowly and without rushing.

All that's left is to bake our chocolate cake. We'll bake it in the oven. First, grease the baking dish with butter. Then pour in the batter and place the cottage cheese balls on top, slightly pressing them into the batter. That's it. Bake in the oven for about 1 hour at 180 degrees Celsius, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
