Ingredients needed for this succulent cake are:

First for the crust:

One & a half cups of all-purpose flour

One tiny teaspoon of grated lemon peel

One Full envelope of dry yeast

One-fourth cup of sugar, you can include more but it will become way too sweet in our opinion.

Half teaspoon of salt, do not change it or else the cake become salty and no one wants that

One-fourth cup of whole milk

Egg yolks of Three large eggs

Three to four chilled unsalted butter bars, you can cut into small cubes for your convenience

Two small teaspoons of vanilla extract

Now, for the filling:

Eight to ten packages of cream cheese, preferably at room temperature

One cup of regular sugar

One huge tablespoon of all-purpose flour 

Three large whole eggs

Two to three cups of whipped cream 

Two big tablespoons of flavoured rum, preferably some fruit flavour

Again, two teaspoons of grated lemon peel

For Sauce:

Eight to ten strawberries

Ten to fifteen blueberries

One tablespoon of lemon juice 

A pinch of salt

& lastly

One tablespoon of sugar

Now, first of all, to make the crust, take a ten-inch diameter cake pan and butter it up properly, you can also use cooking spray. Leave it on the sides and take another bowl and pour flour, sugar, half teaspoon salt, yeast, and grated lemon peel into it and mix well, beat the mix until there are no lumps and everything is mixed completely.

Now take the unsalted butter and melt it completely, after you are done, add the butter into the mixture along with whole milk, vanilla extract, and egg yolks. Your mixture might be looking like a lumpy dough right now, so rub some butter on your hands and start kneading the dough.

Once the dough becomes soft enough, take the prepared pan and press the dough in the pan. Spread it nicely to the sides as well and cover the pan tightly with a lid or oven-safe plastic wrap. Now, let the crust set and rise in the oven for about two hours and fifteen minutes. To check if it is done or not, take a toothpick and poke the crust with it, if it comes out clean, you are good to go.

Next, for the sauce, take fresh berries and cut them into small pieces, pour half a glass of water in a pan, and put it on the stove at medium flame. Now pour the fruits in it to make the puree, after it's done filter it out mix some sugar and salt in it, and keep it aside to cool down, once it reaches room temperature, add some lemon juice to it.

Now for the filling, first of all, pre-heat your oven at 350°F or 177°C. Then take another bowl and pour cheese, sugar, and flour into it and start mixing. Beat the mixture until it's completely smooth and there are no lumps left. Now take three eggs but break and beat one egg at a time, this will make the mixture a lot more smooth.

After you are done with eggs, add whipped cream, rum, vanilla extract, and lemon peel into the batter and start beating again. After you can see that the batter is completely smooth, cautiously, pour the filling on top of the crust it may go a little higher than the crust but do not let it get out of the pan.

Now bake the cake for about 40 minutes more and check again. A pro tip is to prepare the cake way ahead of time as the cake should be kept at room temperature until it's completely cool. Now after hours, when the cake is ready to be served, garnish the cake with your berry sauce and make people go wow.
