Baking in accordance with GOST is very popular among housewives. In the recipe, everything is already thought out and carefully verified. True, not all of them are equally popular. For example, the recipe for a curd cake in accordance with GOST was undeservedly forgotten. And completely in vain. Its delicate aroma and delicate texture cannot but like. And the curd is not felt at all in it. GOST provides 4 recipes. But 2 of them deserve special attention.
Classic recipe
With strict observance of GOST recipe, the cupcake turns out to be delicate, crumbly and of a pleasant cream shade. In production, of course, all products are measured to the nearest gram on a scale. At home, not all housewives are used to measuring out ingredients with the same scrupulousness. Of course, from a deviation of 2-3 grams, the curd cake will not change. The recipe according to GOST at home can be adapted to convenient measures (glasses, spoons and the like).
What do you need?
For cooking, you will need to take these products:
- 3 chicken eggs;
- 330 grams of granulated sugar;
- 155 grams of butter;
- 260 grams of cottage cheese with a fat content of 18%;
- 16 grams of baking powder;
- 287 grams of wheat flour;
- powdered sugar (for sprinkling).
Immediately I would like to note that the recipe for the curd cake according to GOST, especially for the first time, it is advisable to observe even in small things. This will make it possible to appreciate the taste of the finished cake. So, it is very important to find cottage cheese with a fat content of 18%. It should be uniform in consistency, without grains.
Cooking order
- Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance to make it room temperature. This is convenient to do the night before. It is advisable not to use any tricks for softening (for example, to heat in a water bath or in the microwave).
- Beat butter with fine crystalline sugar with a mixer. This stage of cooking to devote a lot of time. The mass should become homogeneous, white. In this case, the sugar will completely dissolve.
- Add cottage cheese at the end. Beat again. If you managed to find only dry, with grains, then you need to wipe it through a sieve in advance. Some housewives chop such cottage cheese in a blender. It is very comfortable.
- Add chicken eggs. For a curd cake, they should be large: grades 1 or 0. Beat again until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
- Add baking powder. 16 grams is about 3 teaspoons with a slide or 2 bags. Mix.
- Last sift the wheat flour and knead a soft, uniform dough. Of course, it is best to measure it on the scales. If they are not, then about one cup and a half will take one serving of cottage cheese cake.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Put the resulting dough in a greased form and put it in the oven. If you strictly follow the recipe for cottage cheese cake in accordance with GOST, cooking should be done in metal form measuring 20 * 12 cm ("brick"). The cake will be baked for 50-60 minutes. Willingness, as usual, to check the breakdown "dry match".
- Then cool the curd cake a little in shape, put on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar. According to GOST, he needs to stand for another day in the refrigerator to reveal his taste and aroma. And really. You should be patient and wait. The cupcake only benefits from this.
Voronezh curd cake
However, the culinary cake recipe above is not the only one in accordance with GOST. And the point is not that many housewives adapted it for themselves and their needs. GOST also allows the preparation of cottage cheese cake for different recipes. Therefore, another cooking option will be given below. It has slightly different proportions, and instead of butter, cheaper margarine is used.
Essential Ingredients
So, to prepare the Voronezh curd cake, you will need:
- 2 chicken eggs;
- 150 grams of granulated sugar;
- 50 grams of margarine;
- 150 grams of 9% cottage cheese;
- a quarter teaspoon of soda;
- a teaspoon of baking powder;
- 200 grams of wheat flour.
Those who are familiar with the recipe for cupcakes, it is obvious that with this amount of fat, it will turn out to be quite dry. Therefore, firstly, do not reduce the fat content of cottage cheese, and secondly, keep it in the oven for a long time. Otherwise, the cooking process will be very similar to the previous one. Therefore, it will not be long to paint this recipe for a curd cake in accordance with GOST.
Step by step cooking
- Softened margarine beat well with half the granulated sugar. Obviously, as in the previous recipe, you need to get it in advance, preferably at night. Beat well for a long time and at a high speed mixer. True, it is unlikely to achieve smoothness, since margarine is very small with so much granulated sugar. But this is not scary.
- Then add the curd. Beat again. Of course, there should be no grains. How to achieve this has already been written. Therefore, it makes no sense to repeat.
- Break 2 eggs in a bowl. If you look at the recipe for cottage cheese cake in accordance with GOST, their total weight should be 80 grams. This is grade 2. Add the remaining sugar and beat well.
- Combine both masses and mix gently. Introduce soda and flour mixed with baking powder. Stir until the dough is smooth. It should turn out magnificent, moist and heavy.
- According to the requirements of GOST, the Voronezh curd cake should be baked in an oval shape. If one was not found, you can use the usual rectangular, as in the previous recipe, or round.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees in advance, put the form in it with the dough (to remove excess air, knock it on the table several times) and bake until cooked for 55-60 minutes.
- Cool the cupcake a little, remove from the mold and garnish with icing sugar. After it cools completely, you can take a sample. Usually after 3-4 hours. On this step-by-step recipe for curd cake according to GOST is completed.
Tolerances
Of course, everyone would like to comply with GOST recipes from beginning to end. However, this is not always possible. But this does not mean that they should refuse to prepare them.
First of all, I want to mention that GOST allows the addition of raisins to the curd cake. It only needs to be soaked in advance in strong alcohol, and then dried on a paper towel. Add to one serving no more than 100 grams at the end of the batch.
Those who, for their own reasons, do not like pastries on margarine, can replace it with butter. The taste will not suffer from this. In addition, GOST recommends the use of high-quality creamy margarine.
It has already been said that cottage cheese plays an important role in this cupcake. Therefore, it is highly desirable to use it with a high percentage of fat content. However, if at home there is only low fat, you can take it. True, the curd cake will be drier than the recipe suggests.
Instead of an epilogue
Is it worth or not to cook a curd cake in accordance with GOST? A recipe with a photo is unlikely to help answer this question. As with any other baking, you need to try. Only by experimenting can you find your favorite recipes. No standards will help here.
