Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal after baking.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth using a hand mixer or whisk.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar or serve as is. Slice and enjoy this delightful cottage cheese batter cake!
