Step-by-step recipes for cottage cheese cakes

Despite the fact that my childhood memories of Easter cakes are associated with yeast dough for Easter baking, the first thing I want to bring to your attention is a recipe for baking without yeast. We all know how often there is not enough time to tinker with the dough and wait until the mass for the cakes rises, so I think that this option will be very useful to many.

Yeast-free curd cake with nuts and dried fruits

Instead of yeast for kulich, baking powder and regular baking soda are used. A simple recipe that will save you a few hours and celebrate Bright Sunday the way it should be.

Ingredients:

• 180 g of cottage cheese with a fat content of 5-9%;
• 100 butter;
• 150-180 g sugar;
• 10 g vanilla sugar;
• 180 g flour;
• 2 eggs;
• 1.5 tsp. baking powder;
• 1 tsp soda;
• 1 pinch of salt;
• 50 g chopped walnuts
• 100 dried fruits;
• 1 orange;
• 2 tbsp. l. cognac.

Preparation:

1. Wash and dry the orange. Using a fine grater, carefully remove the zest. Squeeze the juice out of the remaining fruit.

   

   Prepare the zest and orange juice

2. Place the dried fruits in a small container, cover with cognac and orange juice, stir and set aside for 15-30 minutes.

3. Beat eggs, granulated sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy using a mixer.

   

   Beat eggs with sugar

4. Add cottage cheese, rubbed through a sieve into the egg-sugar mixture, beat again.

5. Whisking continuously, add the softened butter to the bowl.

   

   Add soft butter

6. Knead the resulting mass until smooth.

7. Gradually, in small portions, add flour, sifted and mixed with baking powder and baking soda, into a bowl.

   

   Stir in the sifted flour in portions

8. Drain the dried fruit bowl.

9. Transfer dried fruits, nuts and orange zest to a bowl of dough and stir.

   

   Sprinkle in nuts, dried fruits and zest

10. Divide the dough into two equal-sized pieces and place in baking tins so that they are no more than 1/2 full. The need for such actions is explained by the fact that when heated, the mass will increase in volume, rise and, accordingly, completely fill the free space.

    

    Divide the dough into baking tins

11. Place the pieces in the oven and cook at 160 degrees for 1 hour. Then set the temperature to 120 degrees and continue to bake the cakes for another 30-40 minutes.

12. Remove the finished cake from the oven and leave to cool completely.

    

    Cool the cake

13. Decorate the baked goods to your liking.

Another way of making curd cake without yeast is suggested by the author of the following video.

Curd cake with raisins in a bread maker

Continuing the theme of easy ways to make Easter cakes, I hasten to please the owners of bread makers with the fact that the miracle machine can also help in preparing for Easter. Simple manipulations and step-by-step fulfillment of the recipe requirements will delight you with airy baked goods with a subtle vanilla aroma. This recipe is new to me, but in a few days I will definitely try it out.

Ingredients:

• 200 g of cottage cheese;
• 500 g flour;
• 2 eggs;
• 160 ml of milk;
• 50 g butter;
• 1.5 tsp. dry yeast;
• 1-2 drops of vanilla extract;
• 70-80 g of raisins;
• 150 g granulated sugar;
• 1 tsp salt.

Preparation:

1. Prepare food.

   

   Stock up on the right ingredients

2. Pour flour and dry yeast into the bowl of the bread maker, mix.

   

   Mix flour and yeast in a bowl

3. Add room temperature butter, cottage cheese, eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla extract to the flour mixture.

   

   Add butter, eggs, cottage cheese, milk and sugar

4. Place the bowl in the bread maker, set to normal with the medium crust option. The total cooking time is 4 hours.

5. Rinse the raisins well and soak in hot water for 15 minutes. Pour the prepared product into the dispenser.

   

   Soak the raisins

6. Please be patient and wait for the beep to signal the end of the baking process. Cool the finished cake.

   

   After cooking, let the cake cool completely

Next, I propose an alternative version of Easter baking in a multicooker using fresh yeast.

Curd cake with candied fruits in a slow cooker

The multicooker, which is loved by many, can also facilitate the somewhat time-consuming process of fiddling with dough preparation and baking. My friend, who several years ago received such a miracle of technology as a gift from colleagues, cooks Easter cakes only in it and cannot get enough of it.

Ingredients:

• 30 g of compressed yeast;
• 110 ml of warm milk;
• 200 g of cottage cheese;
• 3 eggs;
• 150 g sugar;
• 100 g butter;
• 500 g flour;
• 1/2 tsp salt;
• 2 g vanillin;
• 200 candied fruits.

Preparation:

1. Prepare the dough: mix crumbled yeast with 3-4 tbsp. l. warmed milk, 50 sugar and 1 tbsp. l. flour. Put the resulting mixture in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.

   

   The dough should stand in a warm place

2. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Whisk the whites into a fluffy foam with 100 g of granulated sugar.

   

   To make the whites whisk faster, grind the sugar into powder and add a pinch of salt to it

3. Mash the yolks with salt and vanilla, then mix with the risen yeast dough.

4. Add grated cottage cheese, soft butter and 2/3 whipped proteins to the resulting mass (the rest will be needed to decorate the finished baked goods).

   

   Cottage cheese must be wiped in advance, and the butter must be removed from the refrigerator so that it is soft

5. Without ceasing to stir the mass, enter the pre-sifted flour into it. Knead into a homogeneous soft dough, roll it into a ball, place in a large bowl and leave warm for 1 hour.

   

   The cake dough is good, but knead gently, it should not stick to your hands, and leave to rest for 1 hour

6. Pound the risen dough, add candied fruits, gently knead again.

   

   It is better to use candied fruits without dyes, especially if you are going to treat children

7. Transfer the dough to a greased multicooker bowl, turn on the "Heat" or "Yogurt" mode (that is, the mode without high heat), close the lid.

   

   Do not confuse the "Preheat" mode with the "Preheat" mode, if your multicooker has a "Yogurt" mode, use it

8. After 15 minutes or when the dough has taken up about half of the form, switch the appliance to the “Baking” mode and set the timer for 1 hour.
9. After the beep notifying the end of cooking, open the lid of the multicooker, check the readiness by piercing the cake in the center to the bottom with a wooden skewer. If the skewer comes out with dough, add another 30 minutes of work and continue baking the cake without changing the previously selected mode.
10. Cool the finished cake a little, remove it from the bowl, cool on a pillow so that it does not deform and cover with whipped whites with sugar.
11. Decorate baked goods.

The video below will acquaint you with an unusual and very interesting option for cottage cheese cakes in a slow cooker.
