Ingredients

Servings: 16
  • 75 g Butter
  • 190 g sugar + 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 packages Vanillin sugar
  • 950 g Low-fat curd
  • 300 g Whipped cream
  • 5 Eggs (size M)
  • 225 ml Milk
  • 85 g Cornstarch
  • 500 g Plums
  • 1 Cinnamon stick
  • 250 ml Cherry nectar
  • 25 g Sesame seed
  • 7-10 Tbsp Grease
  • 7-10 Tbsp Aluminium foil
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk butter, 140 g sugar and 1 packet of vanilla sugar until creamy with the whisk of the hand mixer. Add quark, cream and eggs and stir well. Stir milk and 75 g starch until smooth, add to the quark mixture and stir in.

  2. 2

    Wrap a springform pan (Ø 26 cm) tightly with foil from the outside. Grease the mould. Pour in cheese mixture. Slide a fat pan onto the middle rail of the oven and fill half of it with hot water.

  3. 3

    Place the springform pan in a hot water bath and bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 1 hour. Turn off the oven and open the oven door a little bit.

  4. 4

    Let the cake cool down for at least 2 hours. Take out and let cool on a cake rack.

  5. 5

    In the meantime, wash, halve and stone the plums for the compote. Put 2 tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon stick into a pot and caramelise. Deglaze caramel with 200 ml nectar. Add 1 packet of vanilla sugar.

  6. 6

    Simmer for about 5 minutes until the caramel has dissolved. Stir the remaining nectar with 10 g starch until smooth, add and bring to the boil while stirring. Add the plums and simmer at low heat for about 1 minute.

  7. 7

    Remove the cinnamon stick from the compote, fill the compote into a bowl and let it cool down.

  8. 8

    Bring 50 ml water with 50 g sugar to the boil in a small pan and reduce to a light caramel. Add sesame seeds and caramelise briefly until the caramel has a golden brown colour. Pour immediately onto a piece of baking paper and spread.

  9. 9

    Allow to cool and break into pieces. Remove the cake from the tin and arrange on a plate. Put some plum compote in the middle of the cake. Decorate with sesame caramel and dust with icing sugar.

  10. 10

    Add the rest of the compote.
