The recipe for cottage cheese cake for Easter may be useful for those who want to prepare cake quickly and without yeast.
Easter cake made from cottage cheese dough is no less tasty than classic yeast cake. It is just as heavy, but at the same time with a softer and moist structure.
I added raisins and vanilla sugar to this version, and I plan to make the same cake with candied fruits and other spices. I think it makes sense to try cottage cheese cake with butter instead of vegetable oil.
Ингредиенты
Wheat flour - 300 g / 2.5 cups
Cottage cheese - 150 g
Milk - 100 ml
Vegetable oil - 50 ml
Egg - 1 pc.
Sugar - 4-5 tbsp.
Vanilla sugar - 1-2 tsp.
Raisins - 1 handful
Baking powder - 1.5 tsp.
For the glaze:
Powdered sugar - about 0.5 cups
Milk - 1 tbsp.
Food coloring - optional
Confectionery topping
Рецепт
1. Mix cottage cheese, egg, sugar, milk and vegetable oil.
2. You should get a homogeneous mass.
3. Then add flour with baking powder. Stir and knead into a soft, fluffy dough.
4. Wash the raisins and, if necessary, if they are dry, steam them.
5. Stir the raisins into the dough.
6. Place the dough in suitable sized molds or in one mold so that it occupies 2/3 of the volume.
7. Bake cottage cheese cakes in the oven at 180 degrees until done, from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the molds and the properties of the oven. Check doneness with a wooden toothpick.
8. For yeast cakes, it is recommended to insert wooden sticks in the center so that the surface does not move away during baking and the top of the cake is smooth without tearing. Out of habit, I stuck a wooden stick into the curd cake. By taking out a stick, you can check the readiness of the cake.
9. I'm afraid to use raw eggs, so I don't make the glaze using whites. For icing or fondant, you need some liquid, such as milk or fruit juice, mixed with powdered sugar. If desired, tint the glaze with food coloring.
10. Cover the finished warm Easter cakes with glaze and decorate with confectionery sprinkles.
11. Easter cottage cheese cake is ready.
12. Here is a cross-section of a warm, that is, not completely cooled, cottage cheese cake.
13. Enjoy your tea! Happy Easter!
