Instructions
Working time approx. 45 minutes; Rest time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours
Beat the egg whites until very stiff peaks form. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and water until light and creamy. Sift the flour over the cake, add the salt and baking powder, and gently whisk in the beaten egg whites. Pour the batter into a greased and crumbled baking dish and bake in the oven at 150°C fan/convection oven (do not preheat!) for about 45 minutes (check your oven’s baking specifications). Remove the cake from the dish, let it cool slightly, then divide it in half and place a cake ring around the top half. Prepare the glaze according to the instructions and cover the cake with it. Now place the cake ring around the other layer and spread it with jam. Halve some of the strawberries and place them upright around the edge of the layer. Soak the gelatine in a little cold water, squeeze it out, and melt it over a low heat. Whip the cream and mix it with the quark, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix two tablespoons of this with the liquid gelatin and carefully mix this mixture into the rest of the quark cream. Place two tablespoons of the cream into a piping bag for garnishing. Set aside about 8 strawberries for garnishing. Dice the rest and fold into the quark cream. Spread the filling over the sponge cake, replace the lid, and refrigerate the cake for about 30 minutes. Refrigerate the piping bag as well. Remove the cake ring and garnish the cake as desired with the remaining cream and the quartered strawberries. Tip: I also used zebra strips and chocolate chips.
