Cottage Cheese and Poppy Seed Cake

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

This rich cottage cheese and poppy seed cake comes together with a simple pastry base that chills while you whisk a creamy filling with ground poppy seeds. The baking takes about 50 minutes, but the cake really shines after sitting in the fridge for at least six hours, which helps it set and develop its full flavor.

  1. 1/5

    Pastry

    Work the dough until smooth, then roll it out into a springform cake tin lined on the bottom with baking paper. Press the dough in either with your hands or a small rolling pin, and gently raise the edges slightly up the sides of the tin.

  3. 3/5

About this recipe

Not long ago, my favourite dulce de leche baking blog posted a cake that looked absolutely gorgeous. Since my kids love both cottage cheese and poppy seeds, there was nothing to think about — I tried the recipe right away. I did make a few small tweaks, as I wanted to do a couple of things slightly differently. And the cake turned out wonderful!
