1
Whisk 150 g sugar and fat white-creamy with the whisk of the hand mixer. Stir the eggs one after the other into the fat mass. Mix flour and baking powder and stir in briefly. Pour the dough into a greased, flour-dusted springform pan (26 cm Ø) and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 25-30 minutes. Remove the base from the oven and let it cool down on a cake rack.

Soak gelatine in cold water. Mix mascarpone, quark, 75 g sugar and mango smoothie. Squeeze out the gelatine, dissolve and mix with some quark cream. Stir the gelatine mixture into the remaining cream. Chill the cream for about 20 minutes. As soon as the cream starts to gel, whip cream until stiff and fold in. Cover the cake base with a cake ring. Pour the cream onto the base and spread it out smoothly. Chill the cake for at least 4 hours. Wash the carambola and kumquats, dab dry and cut into slices. Peel the kiwi, halve it lengthwise and cut into slices.
