Grape and cottage cheese cake

by | Oct 3, 2025 | Desserts

Every autumn, when grapes are at their sweetest and most fragrant, I make this cottage cheese cake. It’s a recipe of mine that has become a little tradition, and it never fails to bring the taste of the season to the table. If you can find muscat grapes, go for them – their natural aroma and delicate sweetness really make the cake special. The combination of soft sponge, creamy filling and juicy grapes wrapped in a glistening jelly topping is light, fresh and festive – just the kind of treat I love to share this time of year.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
