with delicious vanilla cream – a real eye-catcher – with shortcrust pastry base

Preheat oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). For the shortcrust pastry, make a shortcrust pastry from the ingredients by kneading all the ingredients together. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for half an hour. Line a springform pan with baking paper, roll out the shortcrust pastry, and place it in the pan, making sure not to raise the edges. Prick the base several times with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, then remove from the oven. In the meantime, make the sponge cake by beating the eggs with a pinch of salt and the sugar for at least 10 minutes. Mix the flour, baking powder, and cornstarch, then sift and carefully fold into the egg foam. Finally, briefly stir in the cooled, melted butter. Spread the pre-baked shortcrust pastry with strawberry jam, then pour the sponge cake mixture on top, smooth it down, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely in the pan. For the cream, whip the cream until stiff. Whisk the quark with the sugar and vanilla sauce powder until creamy, then fold in the cream. The cream should be nice and firm. Now place the base in a cake ring. Halve the strawberries and place them on the edge, then pour in the cream, making sure the strawberries stay upright. Smooth the cream and decorate with the remaining strawberries on top. Refrigerate the cake for about 1-2 hours, then remove the cake ring. If you like, you can also add a layer of glaze.
