Russian Cottage Cheese Cake With Pineapple Recipe

by Olga, on June 4, 2016

Love recipes with cottage cheese for their delicious taste. This one is not exception.
I am using a Farm cottage cheese. It is possible to use regular American cottage cheese, but in that case it needs to be drained from access of liquid in it with help of colander or cheese cloth.

Keep butter in refrigerator before using it.

First prepare buttered crumbs: Mix flour with sugar in a bowl. Chop chilled butter in, then quickly rub the flour and butter with your fingertips until they form breadcrumbs, like on the picture above.

In separate bowl combine Farm cheese, sour cream (if using regular cottage cheese, you may not need sour cream), sugar and eggs.  Mix it well to an even consistency. Then carefully fold chunks of pineapples into a cheese mixture.

Spread a half of crumbs on the bottom of a greased 9.5×6 in (or 7x7in) baking dish. Fold in cheese filling on top of crumbs, to cover them. Then spread  remaining crumbs over the cheese filling.

Bake dish in the oven at 350F, for about 40-60 min, or until golden brown, depending on your oven.

Drizzle it with some fruit syrup on the top, and enjoy it.
