- Farm fresh eggs 3 pieces

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 355°F.
Step 2
Pass the cottage cheese through a sieve.
Step 3
Juice the lemon and orange using a citrus juicer; if you don't have a juicer, squeeze the juice and separate the zest from the pulp.
Step 4
Finely grate the zest and add it to the cottage cheese along with the sugar. Mix well.
Step 5
Add the lemon and orange juice to the batter. Mix well.
Step 6
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Step 7
Add the corn flour. Mix well.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, sift the wheat flour, mix it with the baking powder and salt, then add it to the batter. Stir until the mixture is homogeneous.
Step 9
Transfer the batter to a greased and lightly floured 20 cm round cake pan; if you don't have a round pan, use any other, but the layer should not be too thick (about 5 cm).
Step 10
Bake for 40 minutes until a rich golden color is achieved. While still hot, sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar. Enjoy your meal!
