Non-vegan easter delights

American cheese-cake

We have family visiting, and mom wanted me to bake this cake. It's not vegan, and the recipe was in "Yhteishyvä"'s food-magazine. The recipe is also found in the internet. In finnish.

Ingredients:

The Base:

1oo g of room-temperature margarine

1 dl sugar

1 egg

3 dl flour

1 tsp baking powder

Use a casserole about 24x24 cm size. Prefer a tin with a removable bottom. I didn't have one with the right size, so I made it in a normal tin. Grease the tin thoroughly. Foam the margarine and sugar, whisk in the egg and flours with baking powder ( I added some soy milk in this stage, since the dough was quite crumbly). Lay the dough in the tin, on the bottom and sides. Put in the fridge while making the filling.

Filling:

500 g of milk quark

200 g of unripened cheese (Philadelphia)

zest of 1 lemon

juice of a half lemon

2 ½ dl of sugar

2 tbsp of vanille sugar

1 dl of potato flour

5 eggs

Mix in a bowl the milk quark, cheese, lemon zest and juice, half of the sugar, vanille sugar, potato flour and the egg yolks. Whisk the egg whites and rest of the sugar separately to a firm, hard foam (it took from me about 10 minutes with the mixer). Add carefully the foam in the dough. Pour in the tin. If you wish, you can add some mango- or peachslices on top. Bake in a 175 degree oven, in lower part for an hour. The filling rises quite boldly. Let the cake cool totally before removing the tin.
