Easy Cherry and Cottage Cheese Sponge Cake

I wanted a cake with cherries, but also one with cottage cheese. Combining them turned out to be the perfect solution, resulting in a delightful cake with a fresh cherry flavor. My family loved it.

For the best results in this cheese and cherry cake recipe, use cottage cheese with well-drained whey, which is readily available in most stores. You can also substitute the cherries with your favorite seasonal fruits like blueberries or currants.
