- Spread the cottage cheese evenly over the batter.
- Slice a fresh, juicy apple thinly and arrange the slices over the cottage cheese.

Notes
Key tips for making this cake:
All ingredients should be at room temperature.
Sugar can be replaced with stevia or another liquid sweetener.
Flour can also be substituted with gluten-free flour, though I don’t recommend it.
Cottage cheese can be swapped for whipped cream cheese (it will be creamier, but higher in calories).
Instead of apples, you can use any fruits or berries you like.
It tastes best warm with a scoop of ice cream, but the choice is yours
