    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a cake tin lined with parchment paper or lightly buttered. TIP: Crumple the parchment paper first to make it easier to cut to shape.

    2

    In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, sour cream, semolina, baking powder, and grated lemon zest. TIP: If the cottage cheese is lumpy, use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.

    3

    Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula. TIP: A damp spatula helps to create a nice, even surface.

    4

    Bake the cake at 350°F (180°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. TIP: Check if it's done with a toothpick – if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

    5

    Let the cake cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes, then remove it and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. TIP: It's easiest to slice when it's lukewarm.

    6

    Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and slice. TIP: Make it even more special with fresh fruit or jam.
