Method
- Shortcrust
Process all ingredients into a smooth shortcrust dough.
- Cream cake layer
Mix all ingredients for 2 minutes on 1st speed with a flat beater in the mixer.
- Sour milk cream
Mix Dawn Fond Sauermelk with water (40 °C), then stir in the quark. Gradually fold in the whipped cream.
Roll the shortcrust out to 2.5 mm and place it in a greased slab tin (60 x 20 cm); bake.
Spread the cream cake batter as a layer (about 0.5 cm) and bake.
After cooling, brush the shortcrust with Belnap and place the cream cake layer on top.
Mix the fruit fillings and pipe them in diagonally.
Fill in the sour milk cream (about 0.5 cm below the tin height) and smooth it level.
Briefly semi-freeze the slices and apply the Decorgels in a marbled pattern.
Brush the second cream cake layer with Decorgel Neutral and cut it into 3 squares. Cut out butterflies and place them on top. Decorate as desired.
Chef tip: alternatively, the top cream cake layer can be dusted with icing sugar.
