Instructions

Step 1

Beat the Eggs and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, take 3 eggs and whisk them together with 60 grams of cane sugar and 100 grams of white sugar. It's essential to beat these until the mixture becomes light and frothy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, ensuring your cake is fluffy.

Make sure you don't rush this step. Mixing them thoroughly creates a lovely base for your curd cake.

Step 2

Incorporate Other Ingredients

Add 170 grams of regular cottage cheese and 180 grams of block cottage cheese into the egg mixture. Then include 100 grams of unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, a pinch of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Blend these together until they are smooth and well combined.

Finally, sift in 250 grams of all-purpose flour and mix until just combined. Be careful not to over mix, as this can affect the texture of your cake.

Step 3

Bake the Cake

Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit). Once your batter is ready, pour it into a greased baking pan. Ensure it's evenly spread.

Place the cake in the oven and bake for about 50 minutes. To check if it's done, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean. Allow it to cool before removing it from the pan.

Enjoy your delicious curd cake!

Variations

If you're looking for different ways to enjoy this cake, how about trying some gluten-free and vegan variations? ✨

For a gluten-free option, simply substitute the regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. This will keep the texture light while catering to gluten sensitivities. 🌾❌

In case you want a vegan version, replace the eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg) and swap the butter for coconut oil or a vegan margarine. The texture will still be wonderful, and you won’t miss out on that creaminess! 🌱🍰

Faq

  • Can I use low-fat cottage cheese instead of regular?

    Yes, you can! Low-fat cottage cheese will work, but keep in mind it might slightly alter the texture and flavor.

  • How do I know when the cake is done?

    When your cake is golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, it’s time to take it out of the oven!

  • Can I double the recipe?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to use a larger baking pan and adjust the baking time accordingly.

  • What should I do if my cake isn’t rising?

    Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh, and check that your oven temperature is accurate—both factors can affect the rise!

  • How do I store leftovers?

    Keep any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days.

  • Can this recipe be baked in muffin tins?

    Yes, you can! Just adjust the cooking time to about 20-25 minutes for perfectly portioned snacks.
