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.

angiesrecipes- 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.
- 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.
- Spread the batter into an 8-9 inch greased baking tin and sprinkle almonds on top. Bake at 190C/375F for about 45 minutes.

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.
This cake sounds very good, although we've never seen quark before. Looks sweet and light though. Yum.
I've made a cake with only semolina before- the quark and mangoes will definitely add to the flavor.
Hello Angies,
Enjoy reading your blog with nice recipes.
This is a really nice recipe. It looks moist and delicious! :0)
I adore mango, have never tried it in a cake.. it must be fabulous!
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!
oh yum i heard mango!
cheese and mango..mmmm.. absolutely delicious. First time I've heard of quark,though.
@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.
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!
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.
Love the id adding mangoes in the cake and this cake looks so so goo.
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.
Yummm... I can imagine how delicious cheese and mango are together. A happy partnership I am sure!
I think I need to make some quark! This looks so moist and delicious :D

I learned something new today! I had no idea what quark was and now I do. Great blog post! Great cheese too. I know that I would enjoy this cake.
I love quark cake every since I have tried it in Holland. Mango + quark for the win!! I still can't find quark in Australia. Hopefully it will be easily available soon and I will defintely try my hands on this cake.
Perfect combo! Has been busy for the past whole week and finally can spend some time in visiting blogger buddies. It's about mango season over here. Must try this with cream cheese! Can't find quark here! By the way, great to hear that you received some goodies from home. Must be jumping with joy..he he!Cheers.
