Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 8 oz. 4 percent cottage cheese, pureed
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 eggs
- 3 cups all purpose flour
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F | Lightly coat pan with bake spray and flour.
- Place butter in a saucepan over low heat to melt; set aside. Place cottage cheese in a food processor or blender and pulse until pureed and no lumps remain; set aside.
- Fit stand mixer with a paddle attachment and add melted butter, cottage cheese and sugar into stand mixer bowl. Mix on medium-low for 1 minutes or until well combined. Add in vanilla and salt and mix until well combined. While mixer is running, add eggs in one at time and mix well after each addition. Turn mixer down to low and keep mixer running while gradually adding in flour.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean, approximately 60-70 minutes. Allow cake to cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn out cake onto a cooling rack with topside down. Cool completely before cutting.
I decided to change up the methodology-most significantly, I bypassed creaming the butter for melted butter. Then changed up the remaining order of how the ingredients are mixed with one another. I’m not sure if bypassing “creaming the butter” will work in other cakes, but I can’t wait to find out with my next cake recipe. I hope you like it.
