  1. 6
    Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the batter.
  2. 7
    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Fill a piping bag with the quark mixture and pipe stripes over the batter.
  3. 8
    Use a skewer to drag lines through the batter alternately from top to bottom and bottom to top to create a swirl pattern.
  4. 9
    Bake for 40 - 45 minutes until golden brown. Test with a toothpick - if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  5. 10
    Let the cake cool completely, then dust lightly with powdered sugar. If you often have leftover egg whites and don’t know what to do with them, this cake is a perfect way to put them to good use. Enjoy baking!

FAQ

Quark Cake Questions

This usually happens if the batter is too thin when you pipe the filling on top. Make sure you fold the beaten egg whites in gently so the batter keeps some volume and structure. The cornstarch in the filling also helps it hold its shape, so don't skip it.

Yes, the recipe already lists cream cheese as an option if you can't get quark. Just make sure it's unsalted and low-fat, otherwise the filling can turn out too heavy and greasy. The texture will be a touch richer, but the swirl effect works the same way.

Because of the quark filling, you'll want to keep this cake in the fridge rather than at room temperature. Cover it well so it doesn't dry out or pick up other smells. It's best enjoyed within a couple of days for that soft, creamy filling to stay at its best.

Absolutely, you can mix the quark filling and let it sit covered in the fridge overnight. This actually makes your baking day a little easier since one component is already done. Just give it a quick stir before piping in case it separates slightly while chilling.

Dragging the skewer too many times or too deep is the main culprit for a muddy, uneven pattern. A few clean strokes from top to bottom and back are enough to create that classic marbled look. If you overdo it, the two mixtures blend together and you lose the contrast.
