Step 1
Take two ripe lemons and wash them thoroughly under water. It's best to use a clean cloth or sponge for this. Grate the thin yellow layer of the peel using a grater. Be careful not to grate too deeply, as the pale part beneath the yellow peel is not zest and will impart a bitter taste to the pie.

Step 2
Mix the soft butter with sugar. When the mixture becomes smooth, add milk, eggs, lemon zest, white sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt. Mix until you get a smooth, thick consistency—using a mixer works best. Gradually incorporate the flour, sifted through a sieve. Finally, mix the cottage cheese into the prepared dough (try to achieve a uniform texture). The thick baking batter is ready!

Preheat the oven to 180-190 degrees. Grease the baking pan with butter, making sure to cover the edges. Carefully pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake the cake for 40 to 50 minutes. After that, let it cool for 10 minutes (or longer) before removing it from the pan.
