Name: Poppy Seed Cake Without Flour and Sugar
Ingredients: 200 g ground poppy seeds (1 packet); 1 tub semi-skimmed cottage cheese (250 g); 4 eggs (yolks and whites separated); 1 sachet baking powder (I used gluten-free); 4 small apples or 2 large ones (finely grated); 4 tablespoon ground almonds (or walnuts, or 60 g vanilla protein powder); 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 tablespoon honey (or chicory syrup, or skip it if your apples are sweet); lemon zest (optional, I skip it)

Ingredients

200 g ground poppy seeds (1 packet)
1 tub semi-skimmed cottage cheese (250 g)
4 eggs (yolks and whites separated)
1 sachet baking powder (I used gluten-free)
4 small apples or 2 large ones (finely grated)
4 tablespoon ground almonds (or walnuts, or 60 g vanilla protein powder)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey (or chicory syrup, or skip it if your apples are sweet)
lemon zest (optional, I skip it)

Method

1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the egg whites — poppy seeds, cottage cheese, egg yolks, baking powder, grated apples, ground nuts (or protein powder), cinnamon, honey and lemon zest if using.
2. In a second bowl, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks, then gently fold them into the poppy seed base using a spatula.
3. Pour the batter into a baking tin or smaller tray (approx. 25 × 20 cm) lined with baking paper.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C for approximately 45 to 50 minutes (conventional, without fan). After 45 minutes, check with a skewer — once the surface is nicely browned and the skewer comes out clean, it's done.
