Roughly chop the walnuts. Set aside 1 tablespoon of walnuts and 1 tablespoon of oat flakes for decorating. Put the flour, baking powder, sugar, vanillin sugar, remaining oat flakes and salt into a mixing bowl and mix. Add quark, eggs, fat in flakes and rum and knead with the dough hooks of the hand mixer to a smooth dough. Knead in remaining walnuts and raisins. Place the dough on a well floured work surface and knead again with floured hands. Halve the dough. Form an approx. 70 cm long strand (with floured hands) from each half of the dough. Carefully twist into a cord. Lay the cord to a wreath and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven on the middle shelf (electric oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 50 minutes. In the meantime, pass the jam through a sieve and warm it up at low heat. Remove the wreath from the oven, brush with jam and let it cool down. Dust with icing sugar and decorate with the remaining oat flakes and nuts
