5. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating each time.
6. Add yogurt or sour cream, stir. Sift flour together with baking powder.
7. We spread the balls in a form covered with parchment (I have a form with a diameter of 21 cm), fill them with dough and level them.
8. We send the cake with cottage cheese and carrot balls to a preheated 180 degrees for 40 minutes. The baking time depends on your oven.
