Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the dough: In a bowl mix the softened butter, all-purpose flour, powdered and vanilla sugar, the egg yolks and the baking powder. Work into a smooth dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
  • Preparing the cake: Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Roll out the dough or coarsely grate it and press it evenly into a greased baking tray with a higher edge. Prick the base and edges of the dough with a fork so it doesn't puff up during baking.
  • Quark filling: In a bowl combine the quark blocks and the tub of vanilla quark, the egg yolk, vanilla sugar, lemon zest, rum, powdered sugar and cornstarch. Finally, gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
  • Assembling the cake: Sprinkle a layer of blueberries onto the dough, spread the quark filling over them and top with the crumble (flour, butter and sugar mixed in a ratio according to the desired consistency).
  • Baking: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, until the surface turns golden. Let the baked cake cool.
  • Serving: Before serving you can lightly dust the surface of the cake with powdered sugar. It's excellent warm or chilled.
