Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 55 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes

For the shortcrust pastry, sift the flour onto a work surface and place a well in the center with a tablespoon. Crack in the egg and sprinkle with the orange flavoring and sugar. Cut the cold butter into very small cubes and spread it over the floured edges. Then quickly chop everything finely with a pastry knife. Chop several times, then quickly knead with floured hands until you have a smooth dough. Form a ball, wrap it airtight in cling film, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour. You can also prepare the shortcrust pastry the day before and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is nice and thin and even, less than 1/2 cm thick. Then place the tart pan (approx. 28 cm diameter) on the dough, press down lightly, add another 2 cm for the edge, and cut out the round circle with a knife. Remove the dough from the work surface with a thin cake saver and carefully place it in the pan. Trim any excess edges. Take the rest of the dough and roll it out thinly. Using a cookie cutter, cut out bunnies (about 8 pieces), and set them aside on a board. Preheat the oven to 160-170°C. Then prepare the filling. Place the eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat with a mixer until frothy, at least 7 minutes, until the mixture increases in volume and turns a light yellow. Then add the orange flavoring and the quark and mix vigorously. Add the custard powder and mix well. Pour half of the mixture into the dish. Arrange the well-drained pear halves in a circle on top of the mixture, placing one pear half in the center. Then pour the remaining quark mixture over the mixture and smooth everything down. Arrange the bunnies around the cake, placing them on the sides where the pears are. Place a bunny in the center as well. Bake the cake on the middle rack of the oven for about 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Serve dusted with powdered sugar.
