    200g Flour
    3 teaspoons (streaked) Baking powder
    3 egg whites beat stiff

    Filling:

    Mix 3 Egg Yolks, 200g sugar, 1 Vanilla Sugar (packet), juice from one lemon with 750g curd. In addition, mix 13 leaves (??) Gelatin to the mixture. Top with 3 eggwhites and 1/4L sweet cream beaten stiff.

  2. Cheesecake

    Biscuit base:
    3 egg yolks
    4 tablespoons warm water
    150 grams sugar
    1 (package) vanilla sugar
    300 grams flour
    3 teaspoons baking powder
    3 egg whites beat to stiff peaks

    Filling:
    Mix 3 egg yolks, 200 grams of sugar, 1 (package) vanilla sugar, the juice of one lemon and 750 grams of curd cheese/white cheese (?). Mix in 13 sheets of dissolved gelatine. Beat 3 egg whites and 1/4 liter of cream to stiff peaks (I guess separately) and fold in at the end

  3. Huh, that’s a lot of gelatine, I didn’t even know a recipe that puts some in in the first place.

    Anyway, here you go:

    Sponge cake base:

    3 egg yolks

    4 Tblsp warm water

    150 g* sugar

    1 packet (that’s about 8-10 gram) vanilla sugar

    200 g flour

    3 teasp baking powder**

    3 Egg white beaten stiff

    Filling:

    3 egg yolk mixed with 200 g sugar, 1 packet vanilla sugar, juice from 1 lemon and 750 g Quark*** Mix in 13 sheets of dissolved gelatine. Beat 3 egg whites and 1/4 l* sweet cream**** stiff and fold in.

    ​

    Notes by me:

    *If you are American, you need to convert these to freedom units yourself. g is gram and l is liter

    **German baking powder is not the same as American baking soda!

    ***Good luck finding Quark outside of Central Europe. There are ways to substitute it, but it’s just not the same

    **** I guess she means Schlagsahne with that, which is cream with at least 30% fat.
