INSTRUCTIONS

1
Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2
Place all ingredients for the crust into a stand mixer bowl and process with a K-beater attachment until a firm dough forms. Line a springform pan with baking paper and press the dough evenly into it with your fingers. Set aside.
3
Whip the cream until stiff. Mix all other filling ingredients in a bowl, then gradually fold in the whipped cream by hand using a spatula. Pour the filling evenly over the crust in the pan.
4
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. The surface of the cake should turn golden brown and spring back when pressed with fingers. Let cool and serve dusted with powdered sugar.

Tip

Only grate the yellow part of the lemon zest. The white part is bitter.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
