Apple Skuta Cake (jabolčna skutna pita)
09/30/2007
Inspired (also) by Quint’s post on the Portuguese sponge cake, I baked this apple “cheese” pie last night. Skuta is a type of cheese kind of like cottage cheese but so much better in pies. This was the no. 1 item I missed among food supplies whilst living in Luxembourg. Anyway, here comes this morning’s breakfast.
OK so the kitchen remodelling project is not quite complete yet as I’m waiting for my wallpaint guy’s leg to heal so he can come finish the walls and give them a paint job, but hey, the kitchen is back in action 🙂

Me and my mom used to make a sort of skuta apple cake but the problem was that the paste was like the one of “potica” and it was “too heavy” for me. So I prefer only skuta cakes, specially with spongecake. Skuta rules… also with pancakes or simply eaten alone with a spoon, if possible a huge one. 🙂

@buba švabe: thanks 🙂 we’ll have to get together and exchange some recipes… (PS: Big Blogger knowsssss… it’s all part of the Google/GMail conspiracy, see?
@Abe: Well thanks. I think? 🙂
@Morska: I know what you mean. I like this one because it doesn’t involve lots of dough, just a thin layer at bottom and on top with quickly steamed apples (w cinnamon and a touch of sugar) and skuta cheese (w eggs, some sugar and just a bit of bread crumbs) being the greater part of the cake.
@Quint: When you come over for the cocktail party 🙂 That’s a promise.
@P: Right you are. Especially regarding the choice of reading material in this country 🙂

I have just found some skuta, finally, and would love the recipe for the jabolcna skuta pita. Perhaps you have it somewhere on this site and I have overlooked it? It’s Saturday January 19, ’08, and I would love make this for dessert for my dinner this evening! I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you come across this email and reply!
Thank you!

I am a HUGE fan of skuta and I have no idea where I can buy it. I live in Utah, does anyone know where I can get this heavenly goodness?
