  4. 100 g butter
  5. 250 g poppy seeds
  6. 1/4 l milk
  7. 2 eggs
  8. 1 Ms. cinnamon
  9. 1 dash of lemon
  10. 500 g low-fat quark
  11. Bring the milk to the boil and add the ground poppy seeds and allow to swell, cool.
  12. Mix the butter, sugar, egg yolk, lemon, cinnamon and low-fat quark, then add the cooled poppy seeds. Finally fold in the whipped egg whites. Put on top of the shortcrust pastry.
  13. Streusel:
  14. 100 g butter
  15. 100 g of sugar
  16. 150 grams of flour
  17. Knead everything into crumbles and pour onto the poppy-seed quark filling.
  18. Bake on the 3rd rail for approx. 1 hour at 150 - 160 degrees hot air. Preferably on the grill rack. Place a baking sheet with parchment paper in the bottom rail so that the oven does not become encrusted and the cake runs out a little while baking.
