Farmers Cheese Cake with Raisins (Zapekanka)
Description
Farmers Cheese Cake with Raisins (Zapekanka) blends silky farmer's cheese with eggs, sour cream, and cream of wheat, creating a smooth batter enhanced by the chewy raisins. The inclusion of baking powder helps it rise slightly during baking, forming a golden crust while maintaining a creamy interior. Baked in a parchment-lined pan, it sets into a firm yet soft cake that slices cleanly.
The flavor is mildly sweet with the tartness of farmer's cheese balanced by the raisins and sugar, providing pleasant texture contrasts. Baking at 375°F for about 35 minutes ensures a cooked-through but tender result.
Slices can be served either warm or cold, making it versatile for different serving preferences or occasions. The recipe's straightforward approach highlights the cheese's flavor along with the added burst of sweetness from raisins, making it suitable as a simple dessert or a comforting breakfast cake.
