Baking Instructions German Cheese Cake – Fast and Easy

– Preheat oven to 340 F (170 C).
– Separate eggs. Beat egg whites until firm. NOTE: You don’t have to do it this way. You can just add the eggs without beating egg white firm. Adding firm egg white makes the cake more fluffy.
– Combine butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and egg yolks in a bowl. With a hand mixer mix for 3-5 min.
– Mix flour with baking powder.
– Add flour, quark and lemon juice to the dough. Mix well.

– Finally add the firm egg whites. Mix in thoroughly.
– Melt some butter, and with a brush evenly brush the entire spring form (10 inches). Dust completely with flour.
– Fill the dough into the form.
– On medium layer bake the cake for 60 min – Do the test with a toothpick. The cake is done if you don’t see any dough sticking to the pick.
– If you see the cake gets brown cover it with foil or parchment paper.
– When cake is done set on a cooling rack and at room temperature let it cool off completely before releasing from the form.
