Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
- Separate the eggs into whites and yolks. Place whites in a large bowl and yolks in a smaller bowl.
- Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Whisk the yolks with cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth.
- Sift together flour and baking powder. Gradually fold into the yolk mixture until evenly combined.
- Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the batter, then fold in the remaining whites in two additions.
- Fold in fresh blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Handle the egg whites gently to preserve the airy texture.
You can add extra blueberries on top before baking for presentation.
For a nutty flavor, substitute part of the flour with almond flour.
