Place the room-temperature butter into a deep bowl, add the sugar and beat with a mixer until pale and fluffy.
Add the lemon zest and keep beating. Add the eggs one at a time.
Add the semolina and finally the cottage cheese. That's it, the mixture is ready.
Transfer the mixture into a pan greased with vegetable oil. I recommend a small one, 16-18 cm.
Bake in a preheated 180 °C (355 °F) oven for 45 minutes.
Once the time is up, turn off the oven and leave the pudding cake inside until it has cooled completely. Then slice into pieces - ready to eat. Enjoy!
