Yield: 12
Ingredients: 400 g plain flour; 150 g granulated sugar; 1 egg yolk; 250 g margarine; 3 tablespoons cocoa; 1 packet vanilla sugar; 1/2 packet baking powder; 750 g soft quark; 250 g powdered sugar; 3 egg yolks; 4 egg whites (whipped to stiff peaks)

Preparation procedure

Dough: Mix all the ingredients for the dough and form a smooth, compact dough. Divide it into two equal halves, wrap in cling film and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or 10–15 minutes in the freezer).
Filling: Mix the quark with the powdered sugar and egg yolks until smooth. Finally, gently fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.
Assembling the cake: Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Grease the baking tray and dust with flour. Grate one half of the chilled dough onto the bottom. Spread the quark filling evenly over it. Grate the second half of the dough on top.
Baking: Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 35–40 minutes, until the surface turns golden. Let it cool. Before serving, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar.
