The recipe for cottage cheese cake is wonderful because it is basic - the base of rich, buttery, fluffy and unusually tender dough, due to the addition of mashed cottage cheese, can be given any taste and aroma. For example, make a cake with lemon or orange zest, add poppy seeds and candied fruits or a drop of strong alcohol - calvados, cognac, rum or some interesting liqueur will do.
