Cook Time: 45
Servings: 8

Ingredients:

For a dough:
1 egg
0.5 cup of sugar
1 tb spoon sour cream
100 gr unsalted butter
1 tea spoon soda with 1 tb spoon of white vinegar
250 gr farmer cottage cheese
2.5 cups flour

For a filling:
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
250 gr farmer cottage cheese
1 tb spoon sour cream
2 plums

 

I would say this cake is a kind of a Russian style of a cheesecake with fruits. Instead of a crust there is a soft dough with a tender texture. The filling is made with a home made cottage cheese, which is dense, unlike regular American cottage cheese. It can be bought at a Russian grocery store.
It’s a perfect idea for a variety of breakfast meals.

Bring butter to a room temperature, so it becomes soft and easy to work with.

Welcome To My Blog!

Hi, my name is Olga.  I would like to welcome you to my site.

I created it first of all, to save my family’s recipes and then to share them with my friends and those who have tasted some Russian/Ukrainian food and liked it. But I also would like to introduce it to those who haven’t yet, but would like to.

I will try to keep my recipes simple, but there are few that might require more prep time or ingredients for preparation. You will also find some of my family’s favorite American recipes here and other international cuisines.

I thank you for visiting my site. I hope you will fall in love with Russian/Ukrainian food and will come back again.
