This is from my untried recipe file. It sounds close, but not exact to what you want. This one is made in a springform pan, not an oblong; but it probably can be adapted to fit the pan you'd like by increasing the ingredients. The pineapple is not mixed in, but instead forms a layer on top of the crust. Again, that's probably adaptable. Anyway, hope this helps a little.
HUNGARIAN CHEESECAKE Crust: 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour, sifted 1 tsp. baking powder 4 tbs. sweet butter, no substitutes 1/8 tsp. salt 1 tb. lemon juice 2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten Cold water, 3-4 tbs.
Sift together the flour and baking powder, set aside. Cream the butter in a large mixing bowl; add the egg yolks, salt, and lemon juice, mixing well. Blend in the flour mixture; using fingers, work the dough into a smooth consistency. Add the cold water as necessary to work the dough. Roll the dough out on a flat surface to a thickness of 1/4". Cut to fit the bottom of a greased 9" springform pan and place in the pan. Use the excess to line the sides of the pan. Chill.
Filling: 2 cups cottage cheese 4 large eggs, divided use 1/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. grated lemon rind 1 cup sour cream 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained 1/2 cup raisins
Preheat the oven to 450°. Press the cottage cheese through a sieve. In a large mixing bowl, beat 3 eggs and the sugar until blended. Add the cottage cheese and beat; add lemon rind and sour cream Use the white from the fourth egg (discard yolk) to brush over the chilled pastry. Combine the pineapple and raisins in a bowl, then spread the mixture evenly on the prepared crust. Pour the cheese mixture on top of the fruit. Bake for 10 minutes at 450°, then reduce the oven to 350° and bake for about another 35 minutes. Cool to room temperature; then chill. Serve chilled
