Ingredients
Scale
- 100 g Grieß (Weichweizengrieß)
- 1 Packung Puddingpulver, Vanille
- 3 Eier
- 150 g Margarine
- 200 g Zucker
- 1 kg Quark (Magerquark)
- 1 Prise Salz
- etwas Puderzucker
- Fett, für die Form
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit) to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time you are ready to bake.
- Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites in one clean bowl and the yolks in another. This will allow you to whip the whites later for a light, airy cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the margarine, 200 g sugar, and the egg yolks. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until it becomes pale, fluffy, and creamy. This step incorporates air and helps dissolve the sugar.
- Add the quark (Magerquark), Grieß (semolina), vanilla pudding powder, and a pinch of salt to the creamed mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
- In a separate, clean bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they start to become foamy. Gradually add a tablespoon of sugar (reserved from the 200 g if possible) and continue beating until stiff peaks form. The beaten egg whites should be glossy and hold their shape.
- Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the quark mixture in several additions. Use a spatula and gentle, lifting motions to avoid deflating the mixture. This step gives the cake its characteristic lightness.
- Prepare a springform pan (about 26 cm in diameter): Line the bottom with baking paper and grease the sides with a little butter or margarine to prevent sticking.
- Pour the prepared batter evenly into the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit). Place the springform pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake the cake for about 70 minutes. The cake should be golden on top, slightly risen, and set in the center.
- After baking, turn off the oven and leave the cake inside with the door slightly ajar for about 10-15 minutes. This gradual cooling helps prevent the cake from collapsing.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, carefully run a knife around the edge and remove the springform pan.
- Before serving, dust the top of the cake lightly with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish. Slice and enjoy your homemade Quarkkuchen!
Notes
For best results, use Magerquark (low-fat quark) and Weichweizengrieß (fine semolina). The cake can be served plain or with a fruit compote. Make sure to let the cake cool gradually in the oven to prevent cracks and sinking. The cake keeps well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and tastes even better the next day.
