Servings: persons

1
Put the margarine in a heat resistant container, and microwave for 30 seconds at 1000 W to melt.
2
Put the biscuits in a thick resealable plastic bag, pound them with a rolling pin, add the melted butter from Step 1, and mix.
3
Place the mixture from Step 2 into a silicone cake mold (or a silicone case), and press it hard to make the cake base.
4
Put the cream cheese in a heat resistant bowl, cover with cling film, and microwave for 50 seconds at 1000 W to soften.
5
Add the sugar, and mix well.
6
Mix together until it turns whitish and smooth.
7
Add the yogurt in a few batches, and mix well.
8
Add the beaten egg a little at a time, and mix.
9
Add the vanilla essence.
10
Sift in the cake flour, and mix together.
11
Add the lemon juice and heavy cream, and mix well.
12
Pour the batter into the cake mold, straining through a sieve.
13
Cover with cling film, or use a microwavable lid, and microwave for 8 minutes at 500 W.
14
Take the cake out of the microwave, and let it cool covered.
15
(I opened the lid to take a photograph.)
16
Chill in the fridge, and it's done!
17
If you make this in a regular-sized silicone cake mold, the cake will be flatter.
18
But it's easy to eat if you cut the cake into sticks.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
