Rhubarb Cottage Cheese Cake is a simple, rustic bake with a tender crumb and a jammy rhubarb topping. Cottage cheese keeps it moist while honey and sugar balance the tartness of the rhubarb. It bakes into a deep golden top that looks as good as it tastes.

  • Total Time: 90-95 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 120 g unsalted butter
  • 180 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3/4 cup white sugar plus 2 tbsp
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 800 g rhubarb, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 9-inch cake pan or springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, 3/4 cup of sugar, and honey until well combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk in the melted butter until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, top with the chopped rhubarb, and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
  7. Bake for 70 to 80 minutes, or until the top is dark brown, shiny, and the center is set without wobbling.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and moisture.
  • Cut rhubarb into roughly equal pieces so it cooks evenly on top.
  • The cake is done when the center does not wobble and the top is deeply golden and shiny.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
