Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a springform pan, lining it with parchment paper.

  2. Slowly incorporate eggs and yolks, mixing gently after each addition.

Baking

Notes

Cover leftovers tightly for up to a week. Avoid freezing to maintain texture. For added flavor, enhance raspberry swirl with lemon juice or try using dark chocolate in the mixture.
