Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 280 grams (10 ounces) flour
- 200 grams (7 ounces) sugar
- 300 grams (10.5 ounces) cottage cheese
Protein and Liquid Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 120 milliliters (4 fluid ounces) vegetable oil
- 120 milliliters (4 fluid ounces) kefir
Seasoning and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg (for filling)
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Whisk eggs, sugar, and salt vigorously until the mixture becomes light and airy, creating a smooth, pale base for the batter.
- Gradually incorporate vegetable oil and kefir into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to maintain a uniform consistency.
- Sift flour and baking powder together, then gently fold into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to prevent overmixing.
- In a separate bowl, blend cottage cheese with an egg and powdered sugar until the filling becomes creamy and well-integrated.
- Grease a pie dish thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Pour approximately half of the prepared batter into the prepared dish, creating an even base layer.
- Spread the cottage cheese filling uniformly across the first batter layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully pour the remaining batter over the filling, creating a complete seal and smooth top surface.
- Place the pie dish in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 40-45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and firm texture.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool slightly, which helps set the filling and makes slicing easier.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, offering a delightful blend of soft batter and creamy cottage cheese filling.
Notes
- Ensure eggs and kefir are at room temperature for smoother, more consistent batter mixing.
- For a lighter texture, separate egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form before gently folding into the batter.
- Gluten-free option: Replace wheat flour with almond or coconut flour, adjusting liquid ratios slightly to maintain moisture.
- Low-sugar alternative: Use stevia or monk fruit sweetener instead of traditional sugar, reducing overall calorie content.
