Place the cottage cheese in a sieve and drain. In a

aside. In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese
with the eggs, butter, and vanilla. Mix until well
blended and smooth. Add the dry mixture and blend
well. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and
set the cake aside. Prepare the topping by sifting
the flour, sugar, and cinnamon together. Add the
brown sugar and blend well. Pour the melted butter
over the topping mix and immediately stir with a fork
to form small crumbs. Sprinkle the topping mix over
the surface of the cake and bake the cake for 50
minutes, or until done. Cool to room temperature and
then chill.
