Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Whip the eggs with half the cottage cheese, the flour, poppy seeds and salt, and spread it thin on a lined 8 × 6-inch (20 × 15 cm) tray, right to the corners.
  2. Bake 15–17 minutes, until springy. Turn it out onto a fresh sheet of paper while it is still hot and roll it up loosely, paper and all, to cool. It learns the shape now or never.
  3. Unroll, spread with the rest of the cottage cheese beaten with the yogurt and vanilla, scatter the cherries, roll again and dust with the powdered sugar.
Chef’s tipRoll it hot. A cold sponge cracks the moment it bends. Roll it warm, cool it rolled, and it will not.
Make it twoBake two trays; the roll slices best after two hours in the fridge.
