Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

  1. Whisk the Eggs
    • Crack 3 eggs into a large mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Using a hand mixer, whisk the eggs until they become fluffy, which should take about two minutes.
  2. Blend with Cottage Cheese
    • Add 1 1/3 cups of cottage cheese to the whisked eggs and continue mixing using an immersion blender until smooth.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients
    • Stir in 1 cup of coconut flakes, 1/3 cup of milk powder, and 1 tsp of baking powder into the mixture. Mix until everything is fully combined.
  4. Transfer to Baking Mold
    • Transfer the mixture to a silicone mold. If you don’t have a silicone mold, line a baking mold with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the mixture evenly in the mold.
  5. Bake the Cake
    • Place the mold in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

  1. Heat the Milk
    • In a saucepan, heat 100ml of milk until it is warm but not boiling.
  2. Whisk the Egg and Sweetener
    • Crack one egg into a bowl, add sweetener to taste, and whisk until smooth. Gently stir this mixture into the warm milk.
  3. Thicken the Filling
    • Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until it thickens. Once thickened, turn off the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of butter until it melts and combines well.
  4. Cool the Filling
    • Allow the filling to cool slightly. Cover it with cling wrap, ensuring the wrap touches the surface to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

  1. Cut the Cake
    • Once the cake has cooled, carefully cut it horizontally into two equal layers.
  2. Spread the Filling
    • Spread half of the chilled filling over the bottom layer of the cake. Place the top layer back on and spread the remaining filling evenly over the entire cake.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Chill the Cake
    • Place the assembled cake in the refrigerator and let it set for at least 1 hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the filling to firm up.
  2. Serve
    • Slice and serve the cake chilled. Enjoy this healthy, low-carb, and delicious dessert!
