Kaesekuchen/ Cheesecake
Description
This authentic German Kaesekuchen features a creamy cottage cheese and sour cream filling studded with raisins and lemon zest. It is baked in a buttery shortcrust dough and topped with grated almonds for a delicate crunch. The result is a light, tangy, and comforting dessert that is best served at room temperature.Ingredients
Directions
-
The cheesecake you are referring to is quarkkuchen.
-
To the best of my knowledge, the closest thing to "quark" would be pureed or strained cottage cheese.
-
Here's a recipe for you.
-
Prepare dough and with it line bottom and sides of a greased cake tin.
-
Strain cottage cheese, stir in cream.
-
Add sugar, eggs, grated lemon peel, vanilla, raisins and cornstarch.
-
Mix flour and baking soda and add.
-
Pour batter into dough lining, top with grated almonds and bake in 375F (191C) oven for about 1 hour.
-
When done, cool cake in a warm place.
-
Do not chill.
-
CRUST; Mix all ingredients and, on a bread board, knead to a supple dough.
-
Roll out and use as instructed in above recipe.
-
In view of the large butter content of this dough, it should be thoroughly cooled before baking
