• 280 g (2 1/4 cups) wheat flour
• 280 g (1 1/4 cups) cottage cheese
• 3 eggs
• 150 g (3/4 cup) sugar
• 150 g (10 tbsp) butter, softened
• 10 g (2 tsp) vanilla sugar
• 12 g (1 tbsp) baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 100-150 g (about 1 cup) black currants (the recipe title says apple, but berries work beautifully)

Instructions

1. Cream the soft butter with the sugar and salt.
2. Add the cottage cheese and eggs; mix.
3. Sift in the flour with vanilla and baking powder; stir.
4. Fold in the berries and fill the molds (lightly oiled).
5. Bake at 180 C (350 F) for 50-60 minutes.

Tips

• Use room-temperature butter and eggs for the smoothest, most even batter.
• Fold the berries in gently so they stay whole and do not tint the batter.
