Ingredients
Scale
- Butter (for greasing the pan)
- Ground almonds (for dusting the pan)
- 4 eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 organic orange (juice and zest)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
- 120 g powdered sugar
- 1 kg quark
- 200 g yogurt
- 50 g almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 150 ml cream
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) with both top and bottom heat. Prepare a springform pan by generously greasing it with butter to prevent sticking. Sprinkle the inside of the pan with ground almonds, tilting and tapping the pan so they adhere to the buttered surface. Discard any excess almonds.
- Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites in a clean mixing bowl and the yolks in a separate large bowl. Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- To the bowl with the egg yolks, add the juice and zest of the organic orange, vanilla sugar, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Add the quark, yogurt, almond flour, baking powder, and cornstarch to the egg yolk mixture. Mix everything well with a hand mixer or whisk until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the quark mixture, taking care not to deflate it.
- Carefully fold the stiff egg whites into the batter in two to three additions. Use a spatula and gentle folding motions to maintain as much air as possible in the mixture. This will help the cake become light and fluffy.
- Pour the completed batter into the prepared springform pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top, ensuring the batter is evenly distributed.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven on the middle rack. Bake the cake for about 60 minutes. Keep an eye on the cake during baking; if it begins to brown too much on the surface, loosely cover it with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
- After baking, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This will help the cake set and prevent it from collapsing.
- Once fully cooled, release the cake from the springform pan. Before serving, dust the top of the cake generously with powdered sugar. Slice and serve your flourless cheesecake.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality quark and full-fat yogurt for a creamy texture. The cake is even better if left to rest in the fridge for a few hours before serving. You can also add a handful of fresh berries on top for extra flavor and decoration. Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting to ensure a smooth batter.
