What Is Creamy Cake?

Creamy cake is a unique dessert that combines the lightness of a regular cake with the creamy richness of cottage cheese. It boasts a soft and fluffy cake base achieved through a standard cake batter recipe. The star of the show is a layer of piped cottage cheese nestled on top of the batter before baking. This adds a burst of creamy texture and subtle tanginess to the cake.

Compared to dense cheesecakes, this cake offers a lighter dessert option for those seeking a less decadent treat.

Tips

• Use room temperature eggs for optimal rise and tenderness. Cold ingredients can lead to a denser cake.
• Don't overmix the batter! Once the dry ingredients are incorporated with the wet ingredients, stop mixing. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
• Sift your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) to add air and create a lighter cake.
• Make sure to drain your cottage cheese well to avoid a watery filling that can make the cake soggy. You can use cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer to remove excess moisture.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a touch of vanilla extract, lemon zest, or a splash of your favorite liqueur (like Amaretto) to the cottage cheese before piping.
• Use a piping bag fitted with a round tip for easy and controlled application of the cottage cheese filling.

Can I Use A Different Type Of Cheese Instead Of Cottage Cheese?

You could experiment with ricotta cheese, but it might be slightly wetter than cottage cheese. Be sure to drain it very well to avoid a soggy cake.

My Cake Top Is Browning Too Quickly. What Should I Do?
