About the dish

Topfentorte is an Austrian-style cheesecake made with topfen or quark cheese as the main ingredient. Apart from topfen, the cake is made with eggs, sugar, flour, lemon juice and zest, whipping cream, and gelatin. The tangy topfen filling is typically sandwiched between two layers of sponge cake. Once baked, the cake is usually chilled in the fridge before serving. If needed, topfentorte can be dusted with powdered sugar before consumption.
