German Quark Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

120 g caster sugar
100 g butter
3 eggs
500 g Quark
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 teaspoon lemon rind, grated
1 teaspoon lemon juice
60 g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Preparation

Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
Beat together the first seven ingredients till well blended.
Mix baking powder with flour and sift. Fold into the quark mixture.
Butter and flour a loaf pan. Pour batter into it.
Bake for 45-55 minutes until top is lightly browned. Remove from heat - it will flop down again when cool; that's normal.
(Variations: Add small slices of apple, maraschino cherries cut in halves or raisins or cranberries pre-soaked in rum.).
