Ingredients

  • 120 g caster sugar
  • 100 g butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 500 g Quark
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 60 g flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Method

  • Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
  • Beat together the first seven ingredients till well blended.
  • Mix baking powder with flour and sift. Fold into the quark mixture.
  • Butter and flour a loaf pan. Pour batter into it.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes until top is lightly browned. Remove from heat - it will flop down again when cool; that's normal.
  • (Variations: Add small slices of apple, maraschino cherries cut in halves or raisins or cranberries pre-soaked in rum.).
