Cottage Cheese Cake

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. Grease a round cake pan with margarine and powder with flour. Set aside.
3. Place the cottage cheese in a large bowl and crush with a fork. Add sugar and softened margarine and beat well until the mixture has a creamy consistency.
4. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Add the yolks to the previous mixture, along with the orange zest and the cinnamon power, and stir well.
5. Add a pinch of fine salt to the egg whites and beat to form stiff peaks.
6. Add whites to the previous mixture, using a spoon to gently combine the mixture with circular upward movements.
7. Add the flour and the baking powder, again gently folding the mixture together without stirring.
8. Place the dough in the cake pan and bake for 30 minutes or until it is solid throughout.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.
