Ingredients

  • Natural Skyr (0.2% fat)500 g
  • Low-fat quark250 g
  • Eggs3 pieces
  • Vanilla protein powder (whey or casein)30 g
  • Rolled oats (fine)50 g
  • Chia seeds10 g
  • Baking powder1 tsp
  • Sweetener of choice (e.g., erythritol)50 g
  • Lemon zest1/2 lemon
  • Turmeric1/2 tsp
  • Fresh or frozen berries (mixed)200 g
  • Unsweetened almond milk50 ml

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) top/bottom heat and line a small springform pan (approx. 18-20 cm) with baking paper.

  2. Separate the eggs. Beat the three egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form and set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, mix skyr, low-fat quark, egg yolks, protein powder, oats, chia seeds, baking powder, sweetener, lemon zest, and turmeric until a homogeneous mixture forms. Stir in the almond milk.

  4. Gently fold the egg whites into the skyr mixture, ensuring the airy texture is maintained.

  5. Pour half of the mixture into the prepared springform pan. Distribute half of the berries on top. Add the remaining mixture and top with the remaining berries.

  6. Bake the cake for approx. 45-55 minutes. It should be golden brown, and a skewer inserted into the center should come out clean.

  7. After baking, let the cake cool in the switched-off oven with the door slightly ajar for approx. 15 minutes to prevent it from collapsing too much. Then let it cool completely and ideally serve chilled.

💡 Tip: For an extra portion of omega-3, you can add some flaxseed oil to the batter or sprinkle it with chopped walnuts. Serve the cake chilled with a few fresh mint leaves for ultimate summer freshness.
