  ~----------------- Butter the baking dish, pie pan, or springform pan
  until generously coated. Sprinkle the crumbs as needed into the pan,
  then turn the pan around and shake gently, distributing the crumbs
  along the sides as well. The crumbs should completely coat the inside
  of the pan. Chill briefly to set the crumbs and then fill with the
  desired filling. CAKE: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.  Sift
  together the flour and baking powder and set aside. Press the cottage
  cheese through a sieve. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and the
  sugar until they are frothy. Add the spices and fruit rinds. Add the
  cottage cheese and blend all the ingredients well.
   Stir in the butter, then add the dry mixture, mixing well. Pour the
  mixture into the prepared crust and bake for 1 hour. NOTE: Again this
  is more like a quick bread, and you can increase the sugar if you
  like as this is not particularly sweet.
