How to Make Lime Chocolate Cake
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Grease and flour a 22-24 cm (9-9.5 inch) round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs and 150g granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is thick, pale, and creamy (about 5-7 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 100g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 50g unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tbsp vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 250g quark cheese (or substitute with crème fraîche) and the zest of 1 large lime. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (it shouldn't be completely clean).
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before attempting to remove it. This prevents it from crumbling.
- Once cool, dust the cake generously with powdered sugar, garnish with thin lime slices, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate treat!
