Delicate Cake with Quark Cream and Fruit Jelly

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CRUST

• 1
  Quickly and briefly mix ground almonds and flour, salt, and pieces of butter until you get a coarse crumb. Add sugar and egg yolk with 1 tablespoon of cold water and quickly work with your fingers into a compact dough (do not knead too long or thoroughly, otherwise the gluten will activate too quickly and the dough will be tough – it's okay if there are pieces of butter left in the dough). Adjust with a little flour or water if the dough doesn't hold together (add water) or is sticky and greasy (add flour). Make a disc from the dough, wrap it in foil, and refrigerate for at least an hour.
• 2
  Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius, top and bottom heat.
• 3
  Carefully roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper.
• 4
  Carefully transfer (use the baking paper you rolled it on) into a tart pan and adjust the edges with your fingers. Refrigerate for at least half an hour, then trim the edges along the edge of the tart pan.
• 5
  Line the dough with aluminum foil or baking paper and fill generously with suitable weights (rice, beans, etc.). After 25 minutes, carefully remove the foil or baking paper with the weights and bake for another 10 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE QUARK CREAM

• 1
  Whisk all the ingredients with a hand mixer.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BERRY JELLY

• 1
  Heat the fruit in a saucepan until soft and blend with an immersion blender. Strain through a sieve to obtain a smooth puree. Add sugars (sweeten to taste, depending on the composition of the berry mix, some are sweeter, some more sour).
• 2
  Soak the gelatin in cold water and once softened, add the squeezed gelatin to the warm mixture and stir. Let cool in the fridge (do not let it set, it must remain liquid).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING THE CAKE

• 1
  Small berries – strawberries, raspberries, currants, blueberries
• 2
  Spread the quark cream on the cooled crust. Let it set a little (20 minutes is enough). Pour the jelly over the quark. Let set in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
