We haven't added a recipe in a long time, so it's time to do something about it. In this article you will find a fit version of a popular dessert that you probably know from your grandmothers - crumb cake. Cottage cheese and cocoa is an incredibly good combination, what are we going to say... But we "tweaked" the cake a bit more - we added protein, cut down on sugar and created this awesome treat, which even those who don't follow a healthy diet will enjoy! The recipe is a bit more challenging, but definitely worth trying.

Ingredients

For the dough:

180g of flour (in this recipe half spelt and half buckwheat flour was used, but only spelt flour will do)
2 egg yolks
40g chocolate protein
2 tablespoons of cocoa
Sweetener
80g coconut oil
pinch of baking powder
about 50 ml water

For the cream:

2 tubs of cottage cheese
40g vanilla protein
3 egg whites
1 egg yolk
Vanilla sweetener

Procedure:

Place the flour, protein, cocoa powder, egg yolks and melted coconut oil in a bowl.
After that, add the sweetener of your choice and in the amount you are used to. (You can use honey, cane or coconut sugar or perhaps flavouring drops).
Stir all the ingredients lightly.
Gradually add the water and try to make a non-sticky dough.
Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the freezer for about 40 minutes.

In the meantime, you can prepare the filling:

Using a stick blender, mix the cottage cheese with the egg yolk, protein and a little sweetener.
Beat the egg whites separately until stiff.
Finally, lightly fold the snow into the whipped curd.

And back to the dough:

Take the dough out of the freezer and divide it in half.
Roughly roll the first one and press it evenly on the bottom of the mould.
Put the cream on top of the dough and spread it out.
Pipe the second part of the dough on top.
Put the cake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes and bake at 180°C.

The recipe is a bit complicated, but it's definitely worth trying! The result is indistinguishable from the classic, it is packed with protein, contains all good ingredients, looks beautiful and we guarantee that all your diners will enjoy it.

Enjoy!
