Portion of 12 pieces
Difficulty simple
Ingredients
- 2 whole eggs + 1 extra egg white
- 100 g cottage cheese
- 50 g ground poppy seeds
- 80 g flour (buckwheat or spelt)
- 4 tablespoons applesauce
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chicory syrup
- 1 small apple
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (PDP)
Method
- In a large bowl, combine 2 eggs, cottage cheese, applesauce, honey and chicory syrup. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
- Add the ground poppy seeds, flour, cinnamon and baking powder. Mix until all ingredients are combined.
- Keep one egg white aside and whip it into stiff snow. Gently fold the snow into the prepared batter to keep it fluffy.
- Line a baking tin (ideally 20-22 cm in diameter) with baking paper on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Pour the batter into it.
- Cut the apple into thin slices and decorate the surface of the cake with it. Sprinkle with cinnamon for a more intense aroma and flavour.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C for approximately 40 minutes. Increase the temperature to 180 °C for the last 10-15 minutes so that the cake is nicely baked. Check the pastry with a toothpick to make sure it is cooked through.
Tips and tricks
○ S erving tip: Serve with cherry or currant jam, which perfectly complements the flavours of poppy seeds, apples and cinnamon..
○ Vanilla flavour: If you want to enrich the cake with protein, replace part of the flour (for example 25 g) with vanilla protein. The protein will not only increase the nutritional value, but will also add a subtle flavour to the cake.
