A delightful marble cake combining rich chocolate and light vanilla layers, enhanced with protein-packed cottage cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Mix the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then mix in the cottage cheese, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl, then gradually add to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk.
- Separate the batter into two bowls, adding cocoa powder to one, mixing well.
