Perfect for protein utilization

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top and bottom heat) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the sifted flour with the baking powder, cocoa, quark, semolina, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Beat the egg whites and mix in. Then mix in the espresso with a mixer on the lowest setting. Add enough to create a relatively runny batter, which can later be poured onto the baking sheet. If you like, add the walnuts now. Spread the batter onto the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Then let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. I like this recipe because it’s butter-free and therefore quite low in calories. It’s okay to treat yourself to an extra slice every now and then.
