Cottage Cheese Batter Cake | Cottage Cheese Batter Cake |
|
This extra-easy dish comes from my grandmother and is not rich or too sweet. It is similar to a light, very moist cheesecake. Serve with strawberries on top.
Cake: 2 cups cottage cheese 1/3 cup block cream cheese 1 tablespoon grated orange rind 2 tablespoons orange juice 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla ¼ cup melted butter 1/3 cup granulated sugar ½ cup all-purpose flour 3 eggs ½ teaspoon baking powder Topping: 11/2 cups thinly sliced strawberries ¼ cup red currant jelly 1 tablespoon orange juice
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper. Place all cake ingredients in a food processor and pulse together until a batter forms. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out of pan, peel off parchment paper and invert onto a rack to cool. Place strawberries in a bowl. Melt red currant jelly together with orange juice. Cool a little and stir into fruit. Top cake with fruit and cut into squares to serve. Serves 4 with leftovers for breakfast. |
