Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g Mehl
- 325 g Zucker
- 75 g Butter
- 4 Eier
- 1 TL Backpulver
- etwas Salz
- Fett, für die Form
- 1 kg Magerquark
- 1 ½ Pck. Vanillepuddingpulver
- 1 Pck. Vanillezucker
- ½ Zitrone, Saft davon oder 5 Tropfen Zitronenaroma
- 150 ml Sonnenblumenöl
- ½ Liter Milch
- 5 Tropfen Butter-Vanille-Aroma
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the baking pan. Grease a 28 cm diameter springform pan with butter or oil, and line the bottom with baking paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the shortcrust pastry (Mürbteig): In a large mixing bowl, combine 200 g flour, 75 g of the sugar, 75 g butter cut into small pieces, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, knead the ingredients together until a smooth, homogenous dough forms.
- Without chilling the dough, press it evenly onto the base of the prepared springform pan. Press the dough slightly up the sides to form a shallow edge. Set the pan aside while you prepare the filling.
- Separate 3 of the eggs, placing the yolks and whites in different bowls. In a large bowl, mix together 1 kg low-fat quark, 150 g of the sugar, 1 ½ packets of vanilla pudding powder, the 3 egg yolks, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, the juice of half a lemon (or 5 drops of lemon flavoring), 5 drops of butter-vanilla flavoring, and 150 ml sunflower oil. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Gradually add 500 ml of milk to the quark mixture while stirring constantly. Continue mixing until you have a smooth, thin batter with no lumps.
- Pour the quark mixture onto the prepared shortcrust pastry base in the springform pan. Use a spatula to smooth out the surface.
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (conventional), 175°C (fan), or gas mark 3. Place the pan on the middle rack and bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the meringue topping: Using an electric mixer, beat the 3 reserved egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 100 g sugar while continuing to beat, until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
- Once the cake has baked for 45-50 minutes and the filling is set, remove it briefly from the oven. Immediately spread the meringue mixture evenly over the still-warm cake, using a spatula to create decorative swirls or peaks if desired.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 175°C (conventional), 150°C (fan), or gas mark 2. Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden and set.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. This will help the filling to set and make slicing easier.
- Once cooled, carefully remove the cake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Cut the cake into 16 even slices and serve.
Notes
For best results, allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts. The meringue topping adds a delightful sweetness and a beautiful finish to the cheesecake. You can prepare the cake a day in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. For an extra touch of flavor, garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
