Ingredients
  

  • 1 Box Dr Oetker Käse-Sahne Torte

Cake Base:

  • 7 Tbl or 100 gr Butter- room temperature
  • 3 Eggs

Filling:

  • 2 cups or 500 gr Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 4/5 cup or 200 ml Warm Water
  • 2 cups or 500 gr Quark or PLAIN Greek Yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 345
  • Grease a 26 cm or 10 in springform pan then line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In your mixing bowl, combine the baking mix (the biggest envelope), butter, and eggs. Mix on low until combined... then mix on high for 3 minutes. (Scrape the sides from time to time)
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread to smooth.
  • Bake 30 minutes
  • When finished, let sit for a few minutes, then release the springform (use a knife to loosen the edges if needed).
  • Remove cake from the pan, then, while still on the parchment paper, set it on a cooking rack to cool completely

Filling:

  • Remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake, and set it on your serving plate.
  • Carefully, use a serrated knife to split the cake in half horizontally. (Stick toothpicks in around the edge to guide you if you are worried about staying level)
  • Set the top aside for a moment
  • Put the cleaned ring from the springform pan around the base on the plate.
  • Now make the filling.
  • In your mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff (not TOO stiff... you want it stable, not turning into butter). Set aside for a moment
  • Put the warm water (warm, not hot) in a medium bowl, add the contents of the middle sized packet. (It's mostly gelatine, sugar and flavoring. Use a whisk and beat until everything is dissolved (you can't feel the sugar crystals against the bowl.)
  • Now, a heaping spoonful at a time, add the yogurt or quark.
  • Mix together.
  • Then using a spatula, carefully fold in the Whipped Cream 1/3 at a time. Just fold it over and over on itself until you can't see streaks.
  • Pour the cream mixture over the cake base in the pan.
  • Top with the cake top.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • (You can make it the day before)

Serving:

  • When you are ready to serve, run a knife around the edge to loosen the cake from the pan. Remove the pan.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar (the smallest packet)
  • Serve.
  • It's nice with some sliced strawberries.
