In a large bowl beat 6 eggs and 3/4 cup sugar until triples in volume. (9 minutes)

Sift the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt.

Add into eggs mixture and fold gently using a spatula.

Important: Don’t use mixer when adding flour mixture.

Fold using a spatula.

Be sure that flour mixture is incorporated into eggs mixture.

Spread the batter on the prepared jelly roll pan.

Baking time is about 15 minutes at 350. (this is for my oven so please check your oven temps) 

Important: Check the center of the cake using the fork or a toothpick. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done,

Cool completely.

When cooled cut the cake with a sharp knife into 3 equal pieces ( I used size 10 by 5 inches)

While cake cools or while cake is baking/cooling you can make cream cheese mixture or cheese filling.

How to make Cream Cheese Mixture

Add cream cheese to the large mixing bowl and mix using the paddle attachment. (just for a minute)

Then add icing sugar and continue mixing until ingredients are happy together.

In a separate small bowl mix the heavy cream until soft peaks.

Then transfer the mixed heavy cream into cheese mixture and mix until incorporated. ( 1 to 2 minutes on medium speed)

Your next step is to add sour cream and pure vanilla extract.

Mix on a low speed until incorporated.

Now take 1/3 of the filling and transfer to the small bowl.

Add Nutella and mix until ingredients are blended and happy together.

Transfer cream cheese mixture to the fridge for an hour.

Assemble of the Simple Yellow Cheese Cake

Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand (or use baking sheet as the assembly station)

Cover with half of white cream cheese mixture

Then add second layer of the yellow cake.

Cover with white cream cheese mixture and using your artistic personality add about 1/2 cup of your favorite jam (blueberry jam, raspberry or any flavor you like)

Top with the third cake layer and transfer to the fridge for a few hours. (if you want fast just transfer to the freezer for about 45 minutes)

Remove from the fridge and spread the chocolate filling all over the top and sides.

Decorate as you wish. 

The top of the cake can be decorate using chocolate shavings, sprinkles, Lindt chocolate…
