Tips

• The consistency of the quark mixture should be creamy, but not too liquid.
• Important: Never open the oven during baking, or the cake will collapse
• Slow cooling in the oven prevents cracks on the surface. Best to let cool overnight in the closed oven.
• Can also be made with other fruits like blueberries or cherries
