Ingredients

Main Ingredients

500 grams (1.1 pounds) cottage cheese
100 grams (0.2 pounds) sour cream
3 large eggs
60 grams (0.13 pounds) corn starch
60 grams (0.13 pounds) sugar substitute

Instructions

Step 1

Blend the Cottage Cheese

Start by taking your favorite cottage cheese, preferably homemade, and place it in a blender. Incorporate the large eggs into the mix as well. This will add a rich texture to your casserole.

Continue blending until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 2

Add Sour Cream and Starch

Next, add a portion of sour cream to the blender. This addition will ensure your casserole is even more delicate. Blend this until fully integrated.

Now, introduce the corn starch along with the sugar substitute to the blender. Blend the mixture again until it's uniform and creamy.

Step 3

Prepare the Baking Dish

Before pouring your mixture into a baking dish, make sure to grease it generously with butter. This will prevent sticking and help achieve a beautiful crust.

Once greased, pour the blended mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 4

Bake the Casserole

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Once preheated, place the casserole dish in and bake for approximately 40 minutes.

When finished, your casserole should have a delightful aroma and a light, airy texture that everyone will enjoy!

Servings

Once your curd cake is out of the oven and cooled, it's time to serve! 🤤 Dust it with powdered sugar for a sweet finish, or pair it with fresh berries for a burst of flavor. Don't forget to add a dollop of cream on top – it will bring the flavors together in a heavenly way! 🍓🍦

For a more festive occasion, serve it with a side of homemade fruit compote. The tangy sweetness of the compote will contrast beautifully with the rich, creamy cake. It’s sure to impress your guests!

Looking to share the joy? This cake travels well and can be wrapped up as a surprise for your friends or family. Just make sure it’s cooled before packing it up. A slice of this curd delight is the perfect pick-me-up for anyone! 🎁

Equipment

Baking dish

Choose a non-stick baking dish, and don’t forget to grease it with butter to prevent sticking. An 8-inch dish works perfectly for this recipe.

Variations

If you’re aiming for something a bit different, let’s shake things up! For a vegan version, simply substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg) and use coconut cream instead of sour cream. 🥥

To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure the corn starch you use is certified gluten-free. Your cake will still remain delicious and airy without any wheat! This makes it suitable for gluten-intolerant friends!

Faq

  • What can I use if I don't have cottage cheese?

    You can substitute it with ricotta or even cream cheese for a creamier texture. Just remember that the flavor may change slightly!

  • Is it necessary to use a blender?

    While a blender will give you the smoothest texture, you can mix by hand with a whisk. Just make sure to mix it well to avoid lumps!

  • Can I add flavors like vanilla or lemon zest?

    Absolutely! Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or some lemon zest can give your cake a delightful twist.

  • How can I tell when the cake is done baking?

    Your cake is done when it’s puffed up and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it - you don’t want to over-bake!

  • My cake didn't rise much, what went wrong?

    This could be due to ingredients not being at room temperature or overmixing the batter. Make sure everything is well combined but not overworked!

  • Can I freeze the curd cake?

    Yes, you can! Make sure it's completely cooled and then store it in an airtight container. It should keep well for up to a month.
