Quark Cake with Strawberries
My oldest loves strawberry cheesecake. He likes the fresh, creamy taste. And I also love to eat a slice of it, so I made it for my birthday.
I chose a delicious base of Speculoos (Biscoff cookies) because I like combining it with creamy quark. And then started preparing it, quick and simple. Because this cake is so easy that you don't need an oven for this recipe.
Strawberry Quark Cream Cake
This recipe uses full-fat quark (nice and creamy), airy whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. Those strawberries give a fruity and fresh taste to every bite of cake.
The Bastogne biscuits have a crispy base that perfectly matches the strawberry flavor.
This cake is not only delicious and fresh, but also easy to make. I say, let's get into the kitchen!
