Directions:Grease a 9X13 glass pan or 10-11 inch springform pan. Preheat oven to 325F Beat butter and sugar, adding in the egg, then the sour cream. Mix flour, baking powder and salt and stir into wet ingredients, shaping it into a soft ball with spatula. Wrap in saran wrap and chill half hour. Roll out on floured surface. Roll onto rolling pin and unroll into pan, going slightly up the sides or all the way up if using a springform pan. Prick with fork.
Ingredients for second layer:
3 cups dry cottage cheese (I used Lucerne 4% dry curd)
4 eggs, separated
1 packet Dr. Oetkers vanilla sauce
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup sugar, divided
1/4 tsp salt
Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut up the cottage cheese as fine as possible. This works best if pre-frozen and thawed.
Mix fine cottage cheese with 4 egg yolks, vanilla sauce packet, whipping cream, ½ cup sugar and salt. (I have not tried it, but if you cannot get Dr Oetkers vanilla sauce, you could try a small pkg Jell-O vanilla instant pudding) Beat egg whites until stiff, slowly adding ½ cup sugar and continuing to beat until very stiff. Fold into cottage cheese mixture. Pour and spread onto first layer. Bake at 325 F for 1 hour. Add another 5 minutes if it still looks too light. Run a knife around the edge and allow to cool. This cake may fall slightly as it cools. Refrigerate leftover cake. Can be served with a dusting of icing sugar or with fruit topping. Traditionally it is eaten plain.

Notes: If you cannot get dry cottage cheese, you could try regular cottage cheese or, preferably, ricotta cheese - draining the liquids using a cheesecloth. Dr. Oetkers Vanilla Sauce can be purchased online at Amazon. Not sure if local groceries carry it or perhaps order it for you.In 1891 Dr. August Oetker developed the baking powder Backin at his pharmacy in Bielefeld, Germany. Thanks to the quality of the raw materials and the stable ratio of active ingredients, he was able to guarantee housewives perfect baking results every time. With this outstanding innovation Dr. August Oetker laid the foundation for a major business enterprise and for the brand "Dr. Oetker". Quick, easy and wonderfully creamy vanilla dessert sauce- without cooking. Simply stir into cold milk and you're done! Can be enjoyed hot or cold. The special formula allows heating the sauce in a microwave. Product of Germany.
