WHAT KING OF CHEESE WE CAN USE?

In this cake I used 3% farmer's cheese. I know farmer's cheese is not popular in some countries, so here is a list of cheese that will work: Ricotta cheese, cottage cheese (blended and drained), low fat cream cheese, white cheese or any other soft/semi soft cheese with low fat content and high protein.

WHAT CAN WE USE INSTEAD OF HONEY?

The beauty of this recipe is that you can use any sweetener that you like. Such as: maple syrup, agave syrup, date syrup or sugar substitutes such as stevia.

HOW LONG CAN WE STORE THE CAKE?

The cake can be stored in an airtight container, in the fridge up to 5-6 days. Or in the freezer for a several months.
