Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 160 °C (air circulation).
- For the sponge base: separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks with half of the sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, lemon juice, lemon zest and rum aroma until fluffy.
- Whisk the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff peaks appear. Sieve the flour and fold into the egg yolk mixture alternately with the whisked egg whites.
- Fill into a greased cake tin and bake in the preheated oven for approx. 35 mintues. Allow to cool.
- For the cream: lightly whip the cold QimiQ Whip and QimiQ Classic together until completely smooth, ensuring that the entire mixture is incorporated (especially from bottom and sides of bowl).
- Add the quark, sugar, vanilla sugar and lemon juice and continue to whip until the required volume has been achieved.
- Halve the sponge base through the middle horizontally. Place one half into a cake ring and cover with a layer of cream. Top with the second half.
- Allow to chill for approx. 4 hours and dust with icing sugar before serving.
Tip: The pulp of a vanilla pod can be used instead of vanilla sugar.
