Notes

  1. Use very ripe bananas with brown spots on the peel for the best natural sweetness and flavor.​
  2. If your cottage cheese is very wet, drain it briefly in a sieve so the cake sets better and does not release too much liquid.​
  3. Bake closer to 15 minutes for a softer, custard-like texture, or up to 20 minutes if you prefer a firmer slice you can lift easily.
  4. Serve the cake warm with extra sliced banana or a spoonful of yogurt on top for a more filling breakfast.
  5. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 1–2 days; reheat gently in the oven or microwave to bring back the soft texture.​
