Method for the quark and double
cream filling
To make the quark and double cream
filling, stir together the quark, sugar, milk,
vanilla paste and lemon juice. Soak the
gelatine in cold water, then squeeze the
water out and dissolve it in the micro-
wave or on the cooking zone on low.
Stir a little of the quark mixture into the
gelatine.
Stir this mixture into the remaining
quark mixture and chill. Whip the
double cream until stiff and stir it into
the quark mixture.
Place the firstlayer of sponge on a cake
platter and cover it with the quark mix-
ture. Place the secondlayer on top and
cover with the quark mixture too. Then
place the thirdlayer on top of that.
Cool the cake thoroughly. Dust with
icing sugar before serving.
Method for the cappuccino filling
To make the cappuccino filling, start by
melting the chocolate. Whip the cream
until stiff and set a small portion aside
to spread on the top layer. Soak the
gelatine in cold water, then squeeze the
water out and dissolve it in the micro-
wave or on the cooking zone on low.
Then leave it to cool slightly.
Stir half of the espresso and coffee li-
queur into the gelatine. Then fold this
mixture into the whipped cream.
Divide the coffee and cream mixture in
half. Stir the vanilla paste into one half
and the chocolate and cocoa powder
into the other half.
Place the firstlayer of sponge on a
cake platter, drizzle some of the coffee
liqueur and espresso over the top and
then coat with the dark cream mixture.

of the first, drizzle the remaining liquid
over it and then coat with the light
cream mixture. Placethe third layer on
top, coat it with the cream you set
aside and dust with cocoa powder.

lemon zest and 300g tinned apricots or
mandarin segments (drained) to the
quark and cream filling.
