Step 1
1. Let's prepare the dough for the layers. For this, the cottage cheese should be passed through a meat grinder or finely blended in a blender. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar. Add a few drops of vinegar to the baking soda so it neutralizes, and add it to the mixture. Mix everything well and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Now sift the flour and add it to the dough. Knead the dough well. It will turn out great.

2. Divide the dough into eight balls. Roll each ball into a very thin flatbread. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Bake each flatbread separately for about 15 minutes.

3. While the layers are baking, you can start preparing the cream. Beat the egg whites with sugar. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. When the milk boils, reduce the heat and pour in the beaten egg whites. You must constantly stir the mixture. Add the flour, mix well so that no lumps remain, and cook until the cream thickens to a sour‑cream consistency. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cream cool slightly. Then add butter to it and mix well until the butter is completely melted. Now the cream needs to be cooled.

5. The cream and the layers have cooled. You can start assembling the cake. Spread cream well on each layer and stack them on top of each other. Coat the cake on the sides and on top. Decorate the finished cake to your liking. I decorated it with marmalade. Place the cake in the refrigerator for a day so it absorbs well. And tomorrow surprise your guests with this marvel.
