INGREDIENTS FOR CAKE AND FILLING

380 g semi-coarse flour (plus a little for dusting the pan)
160 g chilled butter, diced (plus a little for greasing the pan)
305 g granulated sugar (total for crumb topping and filling)
4 small eggs (total for crumb topping and filling)
10 g baking powder
125 g quark in a tub
2 blocks of quark (in foil, not tub)
30 g vanilla pudding powder
2 vanilla sugars

INGREDIENTS FOR FINISHING

250 - 300 g fresh currants

CRUMB TOPPING INSTRUCTIONS

1
Quickly and briefly mix all ingredients until crumbly.

QUARK FILLING INSTRUCTIONS

1
Whisk all ingredients with a hand mixer.

FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS

1
Preheat the oven to 180˚C top and bottom heat. Grease the pie dish with butter and dust with flour. Lightly press two-thirds of the crumb mixture onto the bottom of the dish and form a low edge. Spread the quark mixture over the dough, arrange the destemmed, washed, and drained currants on top, and then layer the remaining crumb mixture.
2
Bake for an hour and a quarter, and from about 50 minutes, check the color of the crumb topping. If necessary, cover with aluminum foil to prevent it from browning too much, or after an hour, switch the oven to bottom heat to ensure the bottom bakes through.

Tip

If you don't have fresh currants, the cake is also excellent with other small fruits (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries) or you can use frozen fruit.
