Step 1
1. Children especially love this cake because it's bright and unusual. Some housewives make colorful colored sponge cakes, but I decided to use a minimum of food coloring.

2. The biscuit base is prepared in the traditional way. I whipped the eggs with sugar until a fluffy mixture formed. Alternatively, you can whip the egg whites separately and beat the yolks with sugar, then combine all the ingredients.

5. From the resulting mixture, we need to take equal portions to form the colored dough. Add cocoa to one portion, color another with orange essence-food coloring, and leave the remaining dough light. The dough should have the consistency of thick sour cream. Now, place each dough portion into separate bags and start pouring our leopard-patterned biscuit.

6. Immediately pour the light batter in a circle, leaving space between the layers. Make three stripes of white batter, pour chocolate batter between them, then pour beige batter on top, cover again with chocolate batter, and finally cover everything with white batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 35–40 minutes.

9. It tastes absolutely wonderful when cold: the combination of light and chocolate sponge cake with Philadelphia cheese cream is perfectly harmonious. This cake can also be soaked with a different cream. For example, in this case, a whipped cream would be ideal as well.
