Once the cake has cooled down, spread frosting on top and grate some more zest over. Decorate with flowers.
Notes
You can use full cream or fat-free cottage cheese or cream cheese. I use to think of cottage cheese as something to eat with crackers that do not taste very nice. But recently I have discovered that it is a great source of protein whilst being low in fat and can be added to all kinds of recipes and the taste and texture is not really impaired.
