Ingredients

Servings: 16
  • 7-10 Tbsp Grease
  • 250 g Flour
  • 60 g + 200 g + 100 g sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 6 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 125 g cold + 50 g butter
  • 7-10 Tbsp Flour
  • 500 g Mascarpone
  • 500 g Low-fat curd
  • 7-10 Tbsp grated peel and 5 tablespoons juice of 1 organic lemon
  • 75 g Cornstarch
  • 250 g Blackberries
  • 150 g Blackberry Jelly
  • 7-10 Tbsp Icing sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    For the cake, grease a springform pan with a high rim (26 cm Ø; approx. 8 cm high). Mix flour, 60 g sugar and 1 pinch of salt in a bowl. Add 1 egg and 125 g butter in pieces. First knead everything with the dough hooks of the mixer, then briefly with your hands until smooth. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll out the dough onto some flour and make it round (about 32 cm Ø). Line a baking tin with the dough and press down well at the edges.

  3. 3

    Melt 50 g butter over low heat. Separate 5 eggs. Beat 5 egg yolks and 200 g sugar until creamy. Stir in mascarpone and quark briefly one after the other. Stir in liquid butter, lemon peel and lemon juice.

  4. 4

    Stir in the starch. Beat 5 egg whites and 1 pinch of salt until stiff, while adding 100 g sugar. Fold into the quark mixture and spread into the mould.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 35 minutes. Take out of the oven, cut a 2 cm deep cut all around between the edge of the dough and the cheese mixture. Let it rest for 10 minutes and bake at the same temperature for 20-25 minutes. Let it cool down in the springform pan for at least 4 hours.

  6. 6

    For the blackberry sauce, select and wash the berries. Heat jelly and remove from heat. Mix in the berries. Spread on the cake, leaving about 2 cm of edge free. Dust with icing sugar.
