Mole Cake with Bananas

For the dough, stir the eggs and powdered sugar on the highest setting with the hand mixer for a few minutes until frothy. Mix the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, pudding powder and hazelnuts and stir briefly into the egg mixture on a low level. Pour the dough into a springform pan (26 cm diameter) lined with baking paper and bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees on the middle rack for about 30 minutes.

Take out and let cool completely. Hollow out the cake, leaving an approx. 1 cm wide edge. Finely crumble the loosened part and set aside.

Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthways. Drizzle with lemon juice. Brush the hollowed-out cake base with a little Nutella or jam, if you like. Spread the bananas on top.

Prepare the Quarkfein dessert powder with the milk and quark according to the instructions on the package. Fold under a third of the cake crumbs that were set aside. Spread the quark mixture on the cake like a dome. Finally, pour the remaining two thirds of the crumbs on top. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Variation 5: In addition, fold the chocolate flakes under the quark mixture. You can also use 200 g of ground hazelnuts for the dough, but do not use flour. Instead of the quark filling, you can also whip 500 ml of cream with 2 packets of cream stabilizer and 1 packet of vanilla sugar until stiff.
