Semolina Mango Quark Cake




Quark is a fresh cheese of East European origin. It is soft, white and un-aged similar to fromage frais. It is not the same thing as cream cheese or cottage cheese. Quark is often used in sandwiches, salads, and cheesecake in Germany.

Recipe source: Frießinger Mühle

  • 100 g Sugar
  • Juice of 1/2 freshly squeezed lemon
  • 300-350 g Canned mango, drained
  • 4 Egg whites
  • 30 g Almond, chopped (optional)
  1. Beat sugar and butter until you until you've got a smooth mixture. Beat in egg yolks until creamy and smooth. Add in quark and lemon juice and stir until well-combined.
  2. Mix semolina, baking powder and baking soda and add to the butter-quark mixture. Whip the egg whites until they are stiff. Fold into the batter. Carefully add in mango.
  3. Spread the batter into an 8-9 inch greased baking tin and sprinkle almonds on top. Bake at 190C/375F for about 45 minutes.

  1. I've always wanted to try quark, but can't find it around here. The cakes looks delicious! I would never have thought to use semolina to make a cake.

  2. This cake sounds very good, although we've never seen quark before. Looks sweet and light though. Yum.

  3. I've made a cake with only semolina before- the quark and mangoes will definitely add to the flavor.

  7. I've never tried this quark cheese before, Angie. I bet it's really delicious with the mango and almond flavors. I wish I could taste a slice! Looks lovely. And funny you should ask about Moon - he did lose weight - the Dr. said he was getting too fat! All he wants to do is eat!

  9. @Palidor: The one I used here is low fat, if you prefer a richer flavour, then the one with 40% fat content would be better.
    @The Duo Dishes: Thanks! It's rather light compared with other cakes baked with cream cheese.
    @Sweta, Anncoo, Ungourmet, Donna, Chow and Chatter, ♥peachkins♥: Thank you, my dear!
    @Reeni: Moon acts exactly like one of my cats, Hermes, he wants food 24/7! We even got a "Slim Cat" ball, and put the food inside, so he has kick the ball the food out each time he wants to eat....a trick to get him move a bit.

  10. Good to know abt quark cheese. Don't think I can get it here in S'pore though. I love cakes with semolina as I love that grainy texture eating it. Mango adds flavor, aroma & sweetness. This is a really nice cake recipe, Angie!

  11. That's such a lovely and simple recipe. Luckily, i can get quark cheese here in Italy (we have the Lidl chain stores around). I guess it would be good with similar fruit, too.

  13. I have never eaten quark before but from the description it reminds me of Greek anthotyro, which we use in cakes. Must be great with the addition of mango.
