For 8 portions

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup grated quark
1 cup milk
½ cup oil
2 eggs
1 packet vanilla sugar
1 packet of baking powder
a pinch of salt

Preparation procedure

Preheat the oven to 180 °C (convection: about 160–170 °C). Prepare a baking pan (e.g., greased and floured or lined with baking paper).
Mixing the dry ingredients: In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with the sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
Adding the wet ingredients: Add the grated quark, milk, oil, eggs and vanilla sugar.
Mixing: Thoroughly mix all the ingredients until a smooth batter without lumps forms.
Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Put into the preheated oven and bake for about 30–40 minutes, until the cake turns golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out dry.
Cooling: After removing from the oven, let the cake cool in the pan for a while, then turn it out and let it cool completely before slicing (so it doesn’t crumble).
Serving: Cut into pieces and serve with coffee or tea.
