About Ostkaka
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Arla’s easy ostkaka uses prepared cottage cheese with eggs, wheat flour, whipping cream and chopped sweet almonds. Bitter-almond flavouring gives this version its almond character, with cloudberry jam and lightly whipped cream served alongside.
A baking dish is greased with the listed tablespoon of room-temperature butter. Four eggs and granulated sugar are whisked together before wheat flour, cottage cheese, the first portion of cream, chopped almonds and bitter-almond flavouring are mixed in.
The batter is poured into the prepared dish and baked until the surface is golden and the edges have set. The centre remains soft at this stage.
The whole cake is left to cool completely before serving. A separate portion of whipping cream is lightly whipped for the accompaniment.
Cloudberry jam and the lightly whipped cream accompany the cooled ostkaka. Their tart fruit and creamy finish sit beside the cottage-cheese-and-almond cake.
