4 slices enriched white bread
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/3 c. cottage cheese
3/4 c. buttermilk
4 eggs
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
Dash of salt
Artificial sweetener = to 1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. grated lemon rind

Sprinkle bread with cinnamon. With rolling pin, roll bread thin, then cut into 1 inch strips. Place strips, cinnamon sides to pan, on bottom and around the sides of a non-stick pan (9 inch square) (or a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan). The cheese filling will fill any spaces between bread strips and will hold the cake together.

Combine cheese, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, artificial sweetener and lemon rind in a blender; run at high speed until mixture is smooth and creamy. Carefully spoon cheese mixture into pan. Bake at 275 degrees (very slow oven) 1 hour. Turn off heat, let stand in oven 1 hour longer. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. 4 servings.
