Preparation procedure

  • Preparation of the base: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until light and frothy. Stir in the butter and salt, and finally gently fold in the flour. Spread the batter evenly into a greased and floured pan.
  • Poppy filling: Mix the ground poppy seeds, sugar, pudding (or flour), add the milk and cream. Pour the resulting mixture over the dough as the first layer.
  • Cream filling: Whip the cream until stiff, fold in the quark and vanilla sugar (sweeten to taste if needed). Spread the cream over the poppy layer.
  • Baking: Bake in an oven preheated to 170 °C for approximately 35–45 minutes, until the top of the cake turns golden and looks baked.
  • Finishing and serving: After removing from the oven, let the cake cool slightly. Before serving you can sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar. Cut into portions only after it has cooled so the layers hold together.
