Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth (if using.) If using ricotta cheese, simply add it to a small bowl.
Add egg yolks, sugar and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Set the filling aside.
In a separate bowl cream butter and sugar for the batter. Add eggs and beat well.
In a third bowl, mix flour and baking powder. Add flour to egg mixture alternately with yogurt and orange juice. Stir only until moistened.
Pour half the batter into a buttered 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Spread filling over batter. (Filling will be thick). Cover with remaining batter.
Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Let cool before cutting.
Notes:
Serve with warmed fruit sauce and sour cream.
subsitute Can I make it with cottage cheese for someone who’s lactose intolerant? Will it work? Also is there anything I can substitute for the yogurt if I don’t find a parve version in my local grocery?
Cheese is probably not a good idea for someone with LI.
the filling fell into the batter… Hi,
I excitedly tried this recipe. the taste is fabulous, but there was just now way I could make the filling stay on-top of the first layer of batter. It just fell straight in, and then the second layer of batter on-top of the filling also got mushed up. did I perhaps miss anything??? If yes I would love it if you can email me and let me know. My email address is [email protected].
thanks loads.
HI Gitty. From looking into the recipe, it doesn’t look like it’s supposed to be distinct layers, but kind of melds together. There is a way to check a box and you will get all responses to this comment.
