Tips for Perfect Cottage Cheese Cake
- Blending Cottage Cheese: Blending cottage cheese before adding it to the batter is essential for achieving a smooth, creamy texture. This step eliminates the graininess that cottage cheese can sometimes add.
- Avoid Overmixing: Mix the ingredients just until combined to prevent over-aerating the batter, which can lead to cracks in the cake.
- Cool Gradually: Allowing the cake to cool gradually in the oven, and then at room temperature, helps prevent sudden temperature changes that could cause cracking.
