Simple Rhubarb and Quark Cake – notes
My husband recently went running in the mountains with his friends, so I baked them a large tray of this rhubarb and quark cake. When running, it’s good to “recharge” with some carbohydrates. And what could be better than homemade cake? Nothing! I didn’t initially know what to bake for them, but since my rhubarb had been sitting for a while and was starting to wilt, I decided to use it. Additionally, it turned out I had some quark in a tub in the fridge. I took it out, blended it with a little powdered sugar, and added it to the cake. I must say that adding this quark worked wonders! The cake benefited immensely from it! Not only was it tastier, but it was also moister and stayed fresh longer.
How to make Rhubarb and Quark Cake – tips
First, prepare a quick creamed cake batter with buttermilk (it’s best if it’s at room temperature). If you’re short on time and the buttermilk is cold, you can briefly warm it in the microwave. Instead of buttermilk, you can also use kefir or natural yogurt. Mix the quark only with sugar – I had a leftover amount, about 350g, but you can use up to half a kilogram. Wash the rhubarb and cut it into longer pieces – about 5 cm, then lightly mix with sugar. Spread the quark over the cake batter, then the rhubarb on top, and bake. If you wish, you can also sprinkle the cake with crumble topping before baking – it will be rich.
How to make crumble topping for cake?
For the crumble topping, you will need a glass of flour, about 80g of butter, and 1/3 cup of sugar – knead everything together and sprinkle over the cake.
