For 12 portions

Ingredients

For the batter:

4 eggs
290 g semi-coarse flour
200 g powdered sugar
1 dcl of oil
1 dcl of milk or lukewarm water
a few drops of lemon juice and rum (optional)
1 packet of baking powder
a pinch of salt

For the quark mixture:

1 block (250 g) of soft quark
1 egg
a larger half of a sachet of vanilla pudding
a drop of milk
powdered sugar to taste

To finish:

fresh or frozen blueberries to taste

Preparation procedure

Prepare the batter: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt into stiff peaks. Beat the yolks with the powdered sugar until thick and foamy. Gradually add the oil, then alternately the flour mixed with the baking powder and the milk or water. Finally, gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
Quark filling: Mix the quark with the sugar, egg, pudding powder and a little milk. Whisk everything into a smooth mixture.
Assembling the sponge cake: Grease the baking pan with butter and dust with flour. Pour in the batter, spread the blueberries and spoon the quark mixture among them.
Baking: Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 30–40 minutes, until the surface turns golden. To be sure, perform the skewer test – the batter must not stick.
