Cottage cheese Easter cake in the oven
1
Cottage cheese Easter cake is not just a dish, but a whole tradition that brings families together at the festive table. Its special pyramid shape is reminiscent of the high walls of the Jerusalem Temple, bringing a sense of grandeur and significance to your home. Baking in the oven gives the Easter cake a dense and firm texture that holds together rather than crumbling, making it ideal for breaking and tasting. And what a fragrant symphony vanilla and lemon zest create — a real feast for the senses!
# Variations
Try adding raisins, dried apricots or candied fruit for a variety of flavours. Instead of sour cream, use 33% cream and add ground nuts — this Easter cake will definitely not go unnoticed on the table.
# Secrets of tenderness and taste
To make the Easter cake light and airy, be sure to rub the cottage cheese through a sieve twice. The eggs must be beaten until white and foamy to create a light texture. After adding the flour, mix the dough gently so as not to lose its tenderness.
# Tips on ingredients
Use 9% fat homemade cottage cheese for a rich flavour. The butter should be at room temperature, so it is best to take it out in advance. Choose large C0 eggs — they will add the necessary volume and tenderness.
# Small culinary nuances
Bake the Easter cake at a low temperature to ensure even baking. Do not open the oven for the first 40 minutes to avoid a sudden change in temperature. The cooling process should be gradual — leave the Easter cake in the turned-off oven with the door slightly open.
