Lemon and almond quark cake
Background
This lemon and almond quark cake is based on the traditional German crustless cheesecake. Instead of semolina I used almond flour; instead of sugar I used Stevia. So the cake is gluten-free, but feel free to use semolina and sugar if you want it sweet and gluten is not an issue for you. ( Fine polenta can be used too). Serve it warm or cold it with lemon curd, custard or fruit compote.
Ingredients
- 100g almond flour
- 1 Tbsp corn flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
