With cottage cheese
This is a simple pastry. And the result is an excellent dessert. In addition, it is very nutritious and even useful. The products involved are common, so there should be no problems finding ingredients.
What do we need for a curd tender cake
Ingredients for the dough:
- flour - 350 grams;
- butter (can be replaced with margarine) - 250 grams;
- soda - 1 teaspoon;
- sugar - one glass (it is better to take incomplete if you do not like too sweet pastries).
For a perfect filling:
- cottage cheese (take fatter);
- eggs - 3 pieces;
- sugar is an incomplete glass;
- raisins - 100-150 grams;
- a teaspoon of vanilla syrup (can be replaced with vanilla).
Cooking technology
An important point: we cool all the products in order to knead the dough from them.
To make a tender dough for a pie, it is necessary to saturate the flour with oxygen. We achieve this with a sieve - sift the flour. At the same time, small inclusions are removed from the product, which are not completely edible, but invisible to the eyes.
The dough will be sandy. Cut the butter into pieces and mix with flour. We chop these two products into pieces with a knife. Here the condition is this: the finer the crumb, the more tender the pastries. It is better to do this on a large cutting board.
Pour baking soda and sugar into the flour crumbs and mix the bulk. While we will be filling, the dough will stand in the refrigerator.
Making the filling
To make a very tasty and tender pie, beat the cottage cheese and eggs, sugar and vanilla syrup together. It will be more convenient to use a blender. For lack of such a kitchen device, a regular whisk or mixer is also suitable. True, the filling will turn out a little more grainy.
Add the pre-prepared raisins and mix the filling gently so that it is evenly distributed.
Raisin Preparation
For those who have no idea how to prepare raisins for baking, give a hint. It must be washed in several waters, eliminating sand and other inedible elements. Then soak the raisins in hot water for 15-30 minutes. Done!
Cake making
Pour more than half of the crumbly dough into the baking sheet and, without pressing, level it. We make a thin embankment of dough (sides) around the perimeter. This layer will be the basis of the curd tender cake (its lower part). The pan does not need additional lubrication.
Now pour the curd filling on the prepared basis. The edges around the perimeter are left dry! Stuffing again equal. The final stage is a crumb over the filling. Now, evenly sprinkle the rest of the dough (and the sides). We level the building again.
Bake dessert
Preheat the oven and place the billet on a baking sheet in hot (for 40 minutes). The baking temperature is 180 degrees.
As you can see, the cake is very fast, delicate and tasty. You will be able to verify this by giving the baking five to ten minutes to cool. This must be done because the dessert is so delicate that it can break hot. We put a kettle and boil. And patience is rewarded! We take out the finished pie and pour fresh, aromatic tea into the cups.
Crazy
The most delicious and tender dough for the pie can be called the dough for baking "Crazy cake". The taste will appeal to connoisseurs of chocolate products and fans of pastries, which contain cocoa powder. The cake is beautiful not only for its taste. It also cooks very simply and quickly. Sometimes the speed of the dessert is an important point.
This tender pie dough was invented in the thirties of the past century. The masterpiece was invented by American housewives. And since then, the cake has solemnly marched around the world (or rather, its recipe), helping out the hostesses and impressing guests with their unsurpassed taste.
Dough Products
What simple ingredients can produce a wonderful biscuit, tall and porous? It:
- premium flour - 3 cups;
- sugar - 2 glasses;
- a teaspoon of salt (incomplete);
- soda - 2 teaspoons (or baking powder - 4 teaspoons);
- half a glass of cocoa powder;
- vegetable oil, without aroma - three quarters of a glass;
- apple vinegar - 2 tablespoons;
- water 2 cups (boiled and chilled);

Cooking sequence
Pour sugar and cocoa into a deep and roomy dish. Sift the flour. Mix the products. Add soda (baking powder) and salt.
In a separate clean dish, mix water, vinegar and vegetable oil.
Pour the resulting liquid carefully into the dry ingredients. In this case, you need to mix the future dough with a whisk, achieving its homogeneity. For lack of a whisk (which is rare, but still happens) it is permissible to use an ordinary fork or spoon.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Without wasting time, we lubricate the form in which the baking process will take place. Cooking time for a delicate cake is thirty to forty minutes. To make sure the product is ready, pierce it with a dry wooden toothpick. A dry speck is a sign of cake readiness.
After the specified time, remove the cake from the oven and cool. First, directly in the form (the first five to ten minutes), then on the board or grid to the desired temperature.
In principle, the cake is ready. Baking goes well not only with tea. A good addition would be cocoa, coffee or even milk. Cut the chocolate biscuit cake and enjoy its taste with friends or family.
A variety of additions to the cake
For nature seekers, there are several ways to serve this biscuit. It all depends on the individual taste of the eaters and on the event for which the hostess bakes a delicate dessert.
You can cut the cake across into several parts and cover the slices with jam or jam. Boiled condensed milk is also good. Sprinkle the product with powdered sugar or coconut pulp on top. For lovers of nutty taste, you can sprinkle a pie with chopped nuts, as well as add them to the filling, which grease cakes.
Another filing option. Suitable if you adore a juicy fruit pie. We cut the biscuit into two parts and break one into pieces. Now mix the pieces of cake with condensed milk (or another cream), put the whole cake on the dish. Top with freshly chopped cubes of fruit. Or cut the fruit into slices and lay on top of the broken cake. In this version, a huge field for imagination.
If you cut the whole biscuit into medium cubes and mix with cream (for example, sour cream) and bananas - this will be a fabulous dessert.
But the simplest option remains the leader. The biscuit is poured with chocolate icing on top and, cut into segments, served to the table.
And here is the icing recipe for the pie
It is quite simple. Required Products:
- 2 tablespoons of cocoa;
- 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar;
- butter (or margarine) - 30 grams;
- milk - 2 tablespoons (you can use water).
Cooking
Take a pot with a volume of not more than half a liter. Mix sugar and cocoa directly in a bowl. Add milk and gently stir the resulting mass. Now put the pan on the stove and heat it over low heat. Do not forget about continuous stirring. As soon as the products heat well, add 30 grams of oil to them and try to make it melt as soon as possible (sometimes press to a hot bottom with a spatula or spoon). Cook the icing for about five minutes. The moment when the white blotches of oil (or margarine) disappear and the mass begins to acquire a pleasant gloss, and will be the moment the glaze is ready. We decorate the cake with a hot shiny mass, and it safely freezes on its surface.
You can pour the product directly on top. But also interesting is the option when each in a saucer is first laid a piece of cake, and on top is filled with shiny chocolate icing.
Interestingly, this delicate cake is able to be stored frozen for some time. Place the cooled sponge cake in the bag for freezing and carefully wrapping, put in the freezer.
