• Sugar: 150 g
• Chicken egg: 4 pc
• Wheat flour: 150 g
• Baking powder: 1 tsp
• Soft cottage cheese: 300 g

Cooking steps

1. Break the chocolate into pieces. Melt it together with butter in a water bath.

   Required ingredients:

   • Dark chocolate: 100 g
   • Butter: 120 g

2. Beat 2 eggs and 50 grams of sugar with a mixer, add a pinch of salt and vanilla sugar.

   Required ingredients:

   • Chicken egg: 4 pieces
   • Sugar: 150 g
   • Salt:  pinch
   • Vanilla: 1 teaspoon

3. For the cottage cheese cream, mix the cottage cheese with sugar and the remaining eggs (2 pieces). Whip with a mixer until creamy. If the cottage cheese is grainy, strain it through a sieve first.

   Required ingredients:

   • Soft cottage cheese: 300 g
   • Sugar: 150 g
   • Chicken egg: 4 pieces

4. Add the cooled, melted chocolate to the eggs whipped with sugar. Add the baking powder and flour. Mix with a mixer on the lowest speed.

   Required ingredients:

   • Dark chocolate: 100 g
   • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
   • Wheat flour: 150 g

5. In a form (I have a detachable one) with high sides, greased with butter, pour 1/3 of the batter. Spread it in the form. Place half of the cottage cheese mixture. The recipe said it would spread, but it didn't happen for me - I leveled it with a spatula. On top of the mixture, place the cherries - half of the total amount.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 120 g
   • Soft cottage cheese: 300 g
   • Frozen cherries: 400 g

6. Repeat the layers: dough, filling, cherry, dough. Try to spread the dough evenly; it may not always work - that's okay. You can make swirls on the top layer with a knife. Bake for 40-50 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees. Check readiness with a skewer - it should come out dry. Cool in the form.
