  • Combine the cottage cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla and mix well. Add the flour and baking soda in batches and knead into a dough. Roll the dough into a log and divide it into 8 pieces. Roll out each piece and cut out an 8-inch (20 cm) circle. Cook the layers in a dry skillet for a few minutes on each side—flip each one as soon as it starts to bubble. Cook all 8 layers this way; they should stay soft, so be careful not to over-dry them. Roll out one more layer from the scraps and cook it too, then blitz it in a blender into crumbs for decorating the cake. Now make the cream: in a bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, sugar, sour cream, starch, and flour. Pour the milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and set it over medium heat. Pour a third of the hot milk into the egg-and-sour-cream mixture, whisk well, then pour it all back into the saucepan with the remaining milk. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, until thickened. Take the cream off the heat, add the butter, mix well, and let it cool. Assemble the cake: dab 1 tablespoon of cream in the center of a large plate so the cake won't slide around. Lay down the first layer and spread it with cream, then the second, and so on—about 2–3 tablespoons of cream per layer. Build up the whole cake this way. Spread cream over the top layer too, then coat the sides with the remaining cream. Sprinkle the cake with the crumbs. Let it sit at room temperature for 2 hours, then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Your delicious cake is ready! It's very easy to make and, most importantly, turns out delicious—both adults and kids will love it. If you like, you can add a layer of your favorite fruit.
