Design a Life you love

And that is why it's time again for a new cake creation. Level your ordinary weekday up with the wonderful smell and delicious taste of freshly baked cake.

My recommendation for this week is to throw everything together: cheesecake, chocolate and cherries to make the unique creation of Chocolate Crumble- Cherry -Cheesecake. Not only is it a quadruple-C cake (so proud I noticed haha) but also it's made with lowfat quark and eggs which makes it high on proteins.

 

Recipe:
Chocolate dough: 170g/2cups sugar - 150g/ 5oz butter - 1 egg - 320g/ ~3cups flour  -
                                1 packet baking powder (15g) - 40g /3tbsp cocoa powder

Cheesecake filling: 350g / 1 1/2 cups lowfat quark - 100g / 1/2cup cream cheese -
                                 1 packet vanilla sugar (15g) -  140g / 1 1/2cups sugar - 3 eggs -
                                 1glass cherries (drained: 175g) - 40g /3tbsp chocolate sprinkles -
                                 1 packet custard powder - 30ml / 2tbsp whipping cream

Instructions:

1d) Take 1/3 of the dough for the bottom and 1/3 for the sides. Save the last 1/3 for later, don't snack all of it! :P

2a) For the filling blend sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs, custard powder, lowfat quark, cream cheese and whipping cream.

2b) Add chocolate sprinkles and mix. My mixer still works pretty well even though one part is broken :D

2c) Incorporate the (drained!) cherries with a spoon.

2d) Fill the mixture in the with chocolate dough prepared baking pan.

3a) Now we need the leftover chocolate dough. Add one or two hands of flour and knead till you have nice crumbles.

3b) Snack some crumbles and spread the rest on top of the cake.

3c) Then put it in the oven and bake at 160°C / 320°F for 40-50min.
