for a baking tray

Mix the ingredients for the base and use your fingers to form crumbles. Grease a baking tray, spread half of the crumbles on it, and press them down with a rolling pin if necessary. Set the other half of the dough aside. Pre-bake the base for 10-15 minutes at 160°C, until the dough is golden brown. For the filling, mix together the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, semolina, lemon zest, low-fat quark, and egg yolk. Beat the egg whites and fold in. Pour the mixture onto the pre-baked base and spread the remaining crumbles evenly over the top. To finish, sprinkle the cake with almond flakes. Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes. Once cooled, sprinkle the cake with icing sugar.
