A simple quark cake with cocoa batter is a popular dessert that impresses with its flavor and easy preparation. If you enjoy other delicious quark cakes, try for example the popular quark cake Rosa, which is known for its creamy texture, or the unconventional quark cake “Three Flavors”, in which three contrasting layers of flavor come together. These desserts are worth trying to sweeten any moment at home.

Preparation procedure

  • Whip the egg whites with a small portion of the powdered sugar into stiff peaks and set aside.
  • Beat the softened fat with the remaining powdered sugar, vanilla sugar and rum into a light, fluffy cream. Gradually beat in the yolks and milk until the mixture is smooth.
  • Into the beaten mixture, alternately fold in the sifted flour mixed with baking powder and the egg white foam by hand. Stir gently so the batter remains airy.
  • Thoroughly mix all the ingredients for the filling or briefly whip them into a smooth cream.
  • Grease and flour a baking sheet about 30 × 40 cm. Spread half of the light batter. Evenly spread the quark filling on it. Mix the cocoa into the remaining batter and spread the cocoa batter over the quark layer.
  • Bake in an oven preheated to 170 °C for approximately 40 minutes. After baking, let the cake cool and then lightly dust it with powdered sugar.

Tips for the best result

  • The quark should be really soft, ideally wrapped in foil

  • Cut the cake only after it has completely cooled; the slices will be clean

  • For a milder flavor, part of the cocoa can be replaced with good-quality chocolate

  • The cake is also excellent the next day, when the flavors have melded even more
