Ingredients

200g plain flour
130g caster sugar
8g baking powder
80g quark
2 tbsp vegetable oil
230ml full cream milk (+ 2 tbsp)
4 eggs
200ml double cream
1 vanilla pod
2 tsp custard powder
90g butter
150g cake flour (or 126g plain flour + 24g corn starch or maizena)
4 tbsp icing sugar
loose base spring cake tin (28cm diameter)

  1. Sift the flour, 30 g sugar and baking powder above a bowl. Put the quark, oil, 2 tbsp milk and 1 egg in the food processor until the dough comes together into a ball . Remove and wrap this in cling film and keep in the fridge for 1 h.

  2. In the meantime, make the custard . Put de milk and the cream in a thick bottomed steel pan. Cut the vanilla pod in half and scrape the seeds out with the point of a sharp knife. Add the seeds and the split pod to the pan. Put on a moderate heat until just below boiling point. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Take out the vanilla pod and set aside.

  3. Split the remaining eggs. Add the yolks to the custard powder with 30g of the sugar in a bowl and stir with a balloon whisk. While stirring add the hot cream to the eggs. Return the mixture to the pan and let it thicken to a custard on a very low heat. This can take up to 8 mins. When the mixture has reached its required thickness, take the pan off the heat. Pour the mixture in a ovenproof dish and put a layer of cling film on top to stop a crust from forming. Let cool for about 30 mins.

  4. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Take the dough from the fridge and roll out on a lightly floured surface to a Ø 34 cm circle using a rolling pin. Grease the loose bottomed tin with butter and press the dough into the mould.

  5. Add the butter with the cake flour into a bowl and work with your fingertips until it resembles wet sand. Mix in the rest of the sugar. Spread the cooled custard in a even layer over the dough and sprinkle the crumbs over it.

  6. Bake in the centre of the oven until light brown and cooked through for about 30 mins . Leave to cool on a rack and put in the fridge for about 2h. Serve cold or at room temperature. Just before serving sprinkle with icing sugar.
