About Kohupiimakook
Manna-kohupiimakook is an Estonian semolina and quark cake. This profile follows a home-style version with a crisp butter pastry shell and a baked quark filling built on milk semolina.
Quark gives the filling a fresh cultured tang, while semolina and eggs make it mellow and softly set. Sugar, vanilla and lemon zest add gentle sweetness, warmth and citrus fragrance.
The cake has a pale, creamy filling held inside a thin golden pastry shell. Its centre is smooth and tender with a slight semolina grain, contrasting with the crumbly crust.
