German Kasekuchen
Ingredients:
-----CRUST-----
2 cups Unbleached Flour -- Sifted
4 tablespoon Butter -- No Margarine
1/2 cup Sugar -- Granulated
1 each Egg -- Large
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
-----CHEESECAKE-----
3 cups Cottage Cheese -- 1 1/2 lbs
1/2 cup Cornstarch
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 cup Sugar -- Granulated
4 each Eggs -- Large
1/2 teaspoon Lemon Rind -- Grated
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract -- Real only
1 cup Sour Cream
1 cup Raisins
Instructions:
CRUST: In a large mixing bowl, blend all the ingredients, cutting
in the butter and working the mixture with your hands until it is
well mixed and workable. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Use
one half to line the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan, the
other half to line the sides of the pan. Either roll out the dough
or press it in with your fingers. Chill before filling. CHEESECAKE:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Press the cottage cheese through
a sieve. Combine the cornstarch and the baking powder and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the sugar,
eggs, lemon rind and vanilla. Beat until very smooth. Add the dry
mixture to the cheese and blend well. Stir in the sour cream and raisins.
Pour the cheese mixture into the prepared crust and bake for one hour,
or until done. The center will remain soft. Turn off the oven and
prop the door open. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature. Serve
at room temperature as well. |
