Serves: 5

- Golden caster sugar: 30ml/ 2 tbsp

- Blackberries: 200g/7oz/2 cups
Instructions :
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Lightly grease and line the base of an 18cm/7 in cake tin. Whizz the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender until smooth, or rub it through a sieve.
- Add the yogurt, flour, sugar, egg and egg white, and mix. Add the lemon rind and juice, and blackberries, reserving a few for decoration.
- Tip the mixture into the prepared tin and bake it for about 30-35 minutes, or until just set. Turn off the oven and leave for 30 minutes.
