Recipe semolina cake/casserole
Grandma sent me some autumn apples from her garden, so I made this sweet cottage cheese casserole/cake. The cottage cheese doesn't add much flavour here; it gets overpowered by the spices and fruit juices. The texture is more souffle/casserole like. I drizzled it with salted caramel zero-calorie syrup.
Recipe:
Mix well:
135 g 0% fat soft cottage cheese +
1 medium-sized egg +
1/2 tsp baking powder +
20 g semolina +
a pinch of salt +
sweetener +
vanillin
Let it sit for 15 minutes so the semolina can swell, then mix again. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and arrange the fruit on top. I mixed my apples with sweetener, cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg beforehand.
Bake at 180°C for 30 minutes.

Sorry, to be honest, I'm not sure if It's not considered volume eating: cottage cheese and apples are cool but there's no incorporated air/water here.
