with apple pieces, for 12 pieces

First of all: This recipe is a slightly modified Russian Zupfkuchen (pull-apart cake) with a moist and fluffy filling with apple pieces and a Halloween face. The face can, of course, be shaped in any way you like, even for other occasions with appropriate motifs. Grease a round springform pan (26 cm diameter). For the dough, beat the butter with the sugar and egg until light and fluffy. Then add the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder and knead well, then chill for about 30 minutes. Now spread 3/4 of the dough into the prepared baking pan and pull up an edge. Roll out the rest of the dough and cut out a face. For the filling, first peel the apples, cut them into small pieces and mix with the apple juice. Then beat the butter with the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Then stir in the quark, vanilla pudding powder and vanilla sugar. Squeeze the lemon and stir the lemon juice into the quark mixture. Now spread the mixture evenly over the pastry base, leaving a few spoonfuls (for covering the apples). Then place the well-drained apple pieces on top (pat dry with paper towels if necessary) and cover with the remaining filling. Finally, place the cut-out Halloween face on top of the quark mixture. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 60 minutes.
