    Summertime is the time for berries! Do you like raspberries as much as I do? It would be so nice if raspberries grow all year long in my garden. So many things you could make. Smoothies, Ice cream, cakes or these Raspberry Curd Cheese Cakes…

    Unfortunately “somebody” thought the season for raspberries should be only for a couple months a year – way too short. And also I don’t own a garden… bummer ;P Well that’s life. So let’s make the best this raspberry season has to offer as long as you can get them fresh from the farmers market.

    For today’s recipe, I used quite a lot of these red little fellas. Almost 2 pounds have been used here – not all of them ended up on the cake ;P If there is no season for raspberries this can get quite pricey with that amount of berries, but in summer it’s ok. But don’t worry – even in winter you don’t have to suffer… frozen raspberries can be used as well. No need to buy imported berries from the other side of the planet for s***loads of money. Fresh ones are nicer of course, but frozen ones are also fine. Maybe not as nice looking at the end, but still ok. Anyways – make it now – it’s the best time! ;)

    The cake is not too complicated to prepare, it’s just a bit time consuming with all the cooling. But as always – you don’t have to watch the cake to cool down, you can do many other things in the meantime ;P

    The base is a simple cake layer, on top a layer of curd cheese (quark) filling – very popular here in Germany – and on top the fresh raspberry layer. The perfect summer cake. Light and refreshing!

    Note: If you can’t get hold of curd cheese (quark), you can make it yourself.

    Homemade Curd Cheese (makes about 18 oz.)

    9 cups buttermilk
    1 large heatproof bowl with a lid
    1 large sieve
    1 cheesecloth

    Pour the buttermilk into the heatproof bowl and cover with the lid. Place in the oven, set the temperature to a 140°F (60°C) and let sit there overnight. The next morning place the cheesecloth in the sieve and pour the lumpy buttermilk into it. Let draid for about 2 hours.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8×12 inches (ca.20x30cm) baking tin or baking sheet with a baking frame (same size) with baking parchment and set aside.

    2. Divide the eggs and beat the egg whites with the pinch of salt in a large bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and mix another 1-2 minutes on high speed. Beat the egg yolks slightly in a small bowl, add to the stiff egg whites and carefully fold in. Mix the flour with the cornstarch, sift and fold in very carefully in 3-4 steps. You want to keep as much volume as possible! Fill the batter into the prepared tin/baking frame, smooth out the top and bake for about 12 minutes. Sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with the extra tablespoon of sugar and place the baked cake upside down on the towel. Wet the baking parchment and carefully pull off. Let the cake layer cool down completely.

    3. Add the gelatin leaves to a bowl with cold water and let soak for about 5-8 minutes. Mix the curd cheese with sugar, and vanilla paste in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside. In a separate bowl beat about 21 oz. (600g) of the heavy cream on medium-high speed until foamy. Mix the whipping cream stiffener with the sugar and gradually add to the bowl with the heavy cream, mixing constantly until stiff peaks form. Add the remaining (unwhipped) heavy cream to a small pot and heat up. Add the soaked and slightly squeezed gelatin leaves and mix until completely dissolved. Take off the heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of the curd cheese mixture, then pour that mixture into the bowl with the remaining curd cheese mixture and mix until well combined. Add the whipped cream in 2-3 steps and fold in very carefully.

    4. Place the cake layer in a baking frame (there should be no gap) and pour the curd cheese mixture on top, smooth out the top and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.

    5. Wash the raspberries and let drain. Place them on the cooled and firm curd cheese layer, so everything is covered. Mix the cake glaze powder with sugar, and water and bring to a boil and let cook until thickened. Pour over the raspberries and make sure everything is covered. Let cool down and harden completely. Remove from the baking frame and press the slivered almonds onto the sides of the cake. Serve cooled.

    1. Den Ofen auf 190°C (375°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Eine Backform (ca.20x30cm) oder ein Backblech mit Backrahmen mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.

    2. Die Eier trennen und das Eiweiß in einer großen Schüssel mit dem Salz aufschlagen. Sobald das Eiweiß steif ist, den Zucker langsam einrieseln lassen und weitere 1-2 Minuten aufschlagen. Die Eigelbe verquirlen und dann vorsichtig unter den Eischnee ziehen. Das Mehl mit der Stärke mischen und in 3-4 Portionen in die Schüssel sieben und jeweils sehr vorsichtig unterheben – es sollte so viel Volumen wie möglich erhalten bleiben. Die Masse in die vorbereitete Form/Backrahmen füllen, glattstreichen und für etwa 12 Minuten backen. Ein sauberes Küchentuch mit einem EL Zucker bestreuen und dann den Biskuit darauf stürzen, das Backpapier etwas anfeuchten und dann abziehen. Komplett auskühlen lassen.

    3. Die Gelatineblätter in eine Schüssel mit kaltem Wasser legen und für 5-8 Minuten quellen lassen. Quark mit Zucker und Vanillepaste in einer großen Schüssel verrühren. Von der Sahne 600g in einer großen Schüssel aufschlagen, bis sich Bläschen bilden. Das Sahnesteifpulver mit dem Zucker vermischen und langsam in die Sahne einrieseln lassen und weiterhin aufschlagen, bis die Sahne steif ist. Die restliche Sahne in einem kleinen Topf erhitzen und dann die gequollene und ausgepresste Gelatine darin auflösen. Von der Quarkmischung 1-2 EL dazugeben und unterrühren, um die Temperatur anzugleichen. Diese Mischung dann in die Schüssel mit dem Quark geben und alles glattrühren. Die Sahne in 2-3 Portionen vorsichtig unterheben – es sollte so viel Volumen wie möglich erhalten bleiben.

    4. Den Biskuitboden in einen Backrahmen legen und dann die Quark-Sahne-Masse darauf verteilen und die Oberfläche glattstreichen. Für mindestens 6 Stunden oder über Nacht in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    5. Die Himbeeren waschen und gut abtropfen lassen, dann gleichmäßig auf der Quark-Sahne-Schicht verteilen. Das Pulver für den Tortenguss mit Zucker und Wasser vermischen und aufkochen, bis die Mischung andickt. Gleichmäßig auf den Himbeeren verteilen und fest werden lassen. Den Kuchen mit einem Messer aus dem Backrahmen lösen und dann die gehobelten Mandeln an die Ränder drücken. Gekühlt servieren.

        Hi Nancy,

        I assume you mean the whipping cream stiffener? For that you can use cream of tartar, yes. But I am not sure about the amount… I would say 1/2 tsp. is enough for the amount of whipping cream.
        I hope that helps!

        Cheers,
        Marc

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
