1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients

2. STEP 2

   

   We make the dough: mix the necessary ingredients and leave to proof in a warm place until the volume increases by 3 times.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat 3 yolks and 2 whites with sugar (we will need 1 white for the glaze)

4. STEP 4

   

   Add melted butter, cottage cheese and vanillin to a bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Mix everything well.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sift the flour and add to the mixture. Mix well.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add raisins and dried apricots, previously soaked in warm water and washed. Mix.

8. STEP 8

   

   After our dough has increased 3 times, add it to the rest of the mass.

9. STEP 9

   

   As a result, we get sticky dough, which we place in molds (we have two) at 1/2 height. Next, place in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place in the oven, bake at 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes. You can cover the top with foil to prevent the top from burning.

11. STEP 11

    

    Make the protein glaze - beat the egg whites with powdered sugar and lemon juice. First, beat the egg whites, then add the powder, beat for a couple of minutes, then pour in the lemon juice and beat until shiny. When the Easter cake is ready, brush it with glaze and decorate it to taste. Our Easter cottage cheese cake is ready!

For the butter dough, in my opinion, this recipe contains a little too little butter. I cook almost the same way, but without cottage cheese, so I was interested in this recipe for making butter dough. I was also surprised that the finished yeast dough was sticky for some reason. It is usually smooth and even comes off the dishes when it fits. But you can try to make it, I love the fragrant curd dough.

I made this cake and was very interested in the recipe with cottage cheese. I really liked the taste, rich, very rich. Dried apricots and raisins go well with this taste. You also need to keep in mind that the shape should have a diameter of no more than 22-24 cm to make it taller

Margarita, the dough really turns out sticky, I think it’s because of the curd mass, but it turns out very tasty.

And I really liked the cottage cheese, but I love tall muffins, and in the photo you can see that our child made the cake, so I’m thinking - either double the portion, or take a mold that is tall and not wide, what do you recommend, culinary specialists? I want to try it!

Shurochka, this is my mistake. I decided to make it in a springform cake pan, but I have a large one, 30 cm in diameter. In my opinion, it’s better to make the pan smaller and taller; I’m afraid that if you increase the dough, it may not bake. I wish you successful experiments
