German Cheesecake (Mit Quark) image

This recipe came from my Oma, my German grandmother from Hannover. The original was in grams, but fortunately my mum translated it into cups for me. It is different from a North American cheesecake, less thick and creamy, with a different flavour entirely.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

This cheesecake was delicious! The quark added a nice tanginess that balanced out the sweetness of the sugar.
