Royal vatrushka (cottage cheese pie)
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. I use homemade cottage cheese. If the filling seems too runny to you, don't worry—once the cake is baked, everything will be just fine! This amount of ingredients is enough to bake a tall cake in a 22-23 cm diameter pan. Try it yourself and share your impressions!
