For 8 portions

Ingredients

For the dough:

4 eggs
250 g powdered sugar (2 cups)
125 ml vegetable oil (½ cup)
250 g yogurt (1 cup)
150 g all-purpose flour (1 ¼ cups)
200 g ground poppy seeds (2 cups)

For the filling:

100 g butter (7 tablespoons)
150 g powdered sugar (1 ⅓ cups)
500 g quark (2 cups)
4 egg yolks
40 g vanilla pudding powder or cornstarch (⅓ cup)
4 egg whites
A pinch of salt

Preparation procedure

Preparing the dough: Beat the eggs with the powdered sugar until foamy. Gradually add the vegetable oil, yogurt, flour and ground poppy seeds. Mix until a smooth batter forms. Pour the batter onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Preparing the filling: Cream the butter with the sugar until smooth. Gradually add the yolks, then the quark and the pudding powder (or cornstarch). Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the quark mixture.
Assembling the cake: Spread the quark filling evenly over the prepared dough.
Baking: Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 160 °C for approximately 30 minutes, until the filling is set and the surface is lightly golden. To check, insert a skewer into the cake — if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Serving: After baking, let the cake cool. Cut into pieces and serve. This poppy seed cake with quark filling is not only tasty but also looks great, making it suitable for any celebration or gathering with friends.
