ŽEMLOVKA PROCEDURE

• 1
  Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Grease a baking dish measuring 30×24 cm with butter. Cut the veka into 1 cm thick slices. Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. Let the butter melt in a saucepan on the stove.
• 2
  In a bowl, whisk the milk with the egg yolks, add 60 g of sugar and the melted butter, and whisk again. Gradually place the veka slices into the flavored milk and let them soak up the milk.
• 3
  Cover the bottom of the greased baking dish with the first layer of veka slices, spread all the grated apples over it, sprinkle with cinnamon, add 60 g of sugar, and cover with another layer of veka. Spread the quark filling over it, cover with the last layer of moistened veka, and drizzle with the rum from the raisins. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• 4
  Whisk the egg whites and the remaining sugar into a firm meringue. Remove the Žemlovka from the oven and spread the meringue over it. Increase the oven temperature to 190 °C, return the baking dish with the Žemlovka to it, and bake for another 10 minutes or until the meringue turns golden.
