Difficulty simple
Ingredients
Eggs: 3 pcs
Milk: 100 ml
Cottage cheese: 150 g
Sweetener: 50 g (sugar or erythritol)
Flour: 140 g plain flour (I usually use buckwheat flour with spelt flour)
Poppy seeds: 50 g (ground)
Plums: approx. 200 g (pitted, quartered)
Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
Baking soda: 1/2 teaspoon
Jam or marmalade (about 3-4 tablespoons)
Method
- In a bowl, combine the eggs and sweetener and beat well until light and fluffy. Add the cottage cheese and mix again. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
- Gradually stir in the almond and spelt flours, baking powder, baking soda and poppy seeds. Mix until you get a smooth dough.
- Line a baking tin with baking paper or lightly grease it with butter. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly. Spread the plum pieces over the surface of the pastry and press them lightly into the pastry.
- Using a spoon, spoon the coating onto the dough in several small batches, spreading it evenly or gently stirring it into the dough so that the coating is slightly combined with the dough.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 35-45 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Towards the end of baking you can test with a skewer.
Tips and tricks
○ Poppy seeds as a middle layer: if you have a little more time, make a filling out of poppy seeds - just mix them with a little milk and jam or marmalade. Then layer on the pastry and cover everything with fruit.
○ Fluffier dough: you can set one or two egg whites aside and whip them into snow for more volume (in which case you don't even need to add baking powder).
