  • First, preheat the oven to 180°C and line a springform pan (about 26 cm) with parchment paper.

  • Place egg, sugar, butter, flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder in a bowl and mix with a hand mixer. Then knead the dough by hand.

  • Place ⅔ of the dough in the springform pan and press down with a 2 – 3 cm rim. Set the rest aside.

  • For the filling, place eggs, sugar, vanilla pudding powder, butter, vanilla sugar, and quark in a bowl and mix. Pour the filling into the springform pan.

  • Tear the remaining dough into pieces and distribute over the filling. It should look like cow spots. Bake the cake at 180°C for about 1 hour, let cool — and your delicious streusel cake is ready.

Enjoy!
