Bake Cheesecake – That’s How it Works

Ingredients: Bake baseless cheesecake

• 1 kilogram of low-fat quark
• 4 eggs
• 200 grams of sugar
• 250 grams of butter or margarine
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 1 package vanilla pudding powder

You need this for the cheesecake with base

In addition to the above ingredients, to make a crusted cheesecake you will also need the following:

• 250 grams of flour
• 80 grams of sugar
• 125 grams of butter or margarine
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• a pinch of salt
• 1 egg

Preparation: You have to consider this when baking cheesecake

Cheesecake can be baked in different shapes. We will show you the variant with a floor. If you want to prepare a cheesecake without a base, you can simply omit the dough for the base and start with the filling.

1. Mix all the ingredients for the base into a solid mass. A classic shortcrust pastry is created. You must then cover this with a cloth and refrigerate it. You can only process it further after 30 to 60 minutes.
2. Then knead the dough again briefly and roll it out with a rolling pin. Alternatively, you can press it onto the bottom of the mold and spread it evenly. Let it stick up a little at the edges. Attention: Be sure to grease the springform pan or line it with baking paper, so nothing sticks afterward.
3. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees circulating air or 180 degrees top and bottom heat. Pre-bake the base for around 10 minutes.
4. Separate the eggs and mix together the yolks and sugar. Add the low-fat quark and the vanilla pudding powder.
5. Weigh the butter or margarine and microwave it for about 1 to 2 minutes. Allow the liquid fat to cool briefly and stir it in carefully, preferably step by step.
6. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and then slowly fold them in as well.
7. Now fill the mold with the mass and smooth everything out.
8. Bake the cheesecake for 65 minutes at 160 degrees circulating air or at 170 degrees top and bottom heat. Check with a stick to see if the cake is done or removed when golden. Baking times may vary depending on the oven.

After baking: How to decorate the cheesecake

You can decorate the cheesecake however you like. Let it cool down for about 10 to 15 minutes and then remove it from the mold.

• It is particularly good to spread tangerines or other types of fruit on the cake. It tastes wonderfully fresh. You can also fold these into the dough to loosen it up.
• Sprinkles can also be used to spice up the cake and add an extra layer.
• There are many similar variants such as the Russian Zupfkuchen, which also has a quark filling on the inside.
