Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. Use soft, not too moist cottage cheese for the filling. For a smooth texture, strain it through a sieve or blend with an immersion blender.
Step 2
Grate the cold butter using a coarse grater, then mix it with sugar and flour. Rub everything together with your hands until a crumbly, sandy texture forms.
Step 3
Prepare a 20 cm (8-inch) springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper and attach the sides. Spread half of the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom, pressing it down to create a firm base.
Step 4
Prepare the cottage cheese filling. In a deep bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, and eggs. Add a pinch of vanilla for flavor. If your cottage cheese is too moist, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of starch. Blend everything until smooth.
Step 5
The filling should have a moderately liquid consistency.
Step 6
Pour the cottage cheese filling into the prepared crust in the baking pan.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 45-50 minutes. Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on it.
Step 8
The cake will turn golden brown. During baking, the center may slightly jiggle, but it will firm up once fully baked.
Step 9
Remove the baked cake from the oven and let it cool. Then transfer it to a serving plate and enjoy with tea. Bon appétit!
