Instructions
Separate eggs. Put egg whites into a mixing bowl and the yolk into a cup ready for using them.
Beat egg whites in high speed until hard peaks form.
Pour yolk into the egg whites one by one, keep beating until they incorporate well. Mix honey with it as well.
Turn the mixer into low speed and start adding flour and the baking powder in. Get a bigger bowl if necessary.
Start adding the cottage cheese too by alternating between the flour and the cottage cheese. Add the optional vanilla extract too.
Keep mixing until getting an even mixture but be quick about it as the acid in the cottage cheese can diminish the baking powders raising power. Pour batter into a parchment paper lined baking tray.
Add lumps of jam on top.
Place tray into the middle rack of a 350°F / 180°C preheated oven until the inner temperature of the cake reaches 210°F / 99°C, which should happen when golden brown spots start to appear on top of the cake in about 30 - 40 minutes. Let it cool down and cut it into squares to serve it.
