For the Pastry: rub the cottage cheese, if desired, through a fine sieve and mix with the milk, oil, sugar and salt. Mix and sieve together the flour and the baking powder and add to the mixed ingredients, a little at a time until slightly more than half has been used. Knead in the rest of the flour. Grease a round cake tin with a removable rim, 10 in. (26cm) in diameter and roll out the pastry to fit the base.
For the Topping: melt together the butter, sugar and vanillin sugar and add the milk; stir in the almonds and set aside to cool. If it should be too firm when cold, add a little milk. Spread evenly over the pastry.

When the cake is quite cold, cut it horizontally into two halves, spread the filling on the bottom half and lay the other on top.
