Viennese Cheesecake - Grandma's Recipe That Everyone Should Know

Viennese cheesecake. This old and tried-and-true recipe is perfect for both everyday and special occasions. Keep in mind that this cheesecake rises significantly during baking, but should not collapse significantly if properly cooled.

Ingredients · Servings 5-6 people
  • 200 g butter
  • 8 eggs
  • 1 kg of full-fat cottage cheese from a bucket
  • 180 g of fine sugar
  • 16 g vanilla sugar
  • grated peel of half a lemon
  • 1 tablespoon of wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon of potato flour
Method · 3 h
  1. To prepare the Viennese cheesecake, begin by placing the cottage cheese in a large bowl. Sift together both types of flour, vanilla sugar, and citrus zest. Mix thoroughly until there are no lumps.
  2. For this Viennese cheesecake recipe, you'll need butter. Melt it in a saucepan, set aside to cool, and then mix it into the cheese mixture.
  3. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Mix the yolks with the cottage cheese. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then add the sugar and mix for another minute. When the egg whites are shiny, begin folding them into the cheese mixture one at a time. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula each time, ensuring all ingredients are well aerated.
  4. Line a 23 cm round springform pan with baking paper, grease the sides with butter, and dust with a thin layer of flour. This is a traditional cheesecake without a base, so immediately pour the Viennese cheesecake mixture into the prepared springform pan. Remember that the cheesecake will rise significantly, so if your springform pan is low, you can add extra height to the sides with baking paper.

Open the door and remove the cake only when it has cooled completely. This will take several hours, but this will prevent the cake from falling significantly.
  6. You can sprinkle the finished cheesecake with powdered sugar and decorate it with chocolate icing or caramel filling.
