Aladdins drömkaka (Aladdin's Dream Cake) a Classic Swedish recipe for a flour and butter batter cake with a cream cheese and lemon filling.
Ingredients:
360g plain flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
125g butter
1 egg yolk
For the Filling:
2 eggs
500g quark (or any set cottage cheese) (use the
home-made quark cheese to make your own)
200g granulated sugar
250ml sour cream
60g plain flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
finely-grated zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
Method:
Combine the flour, sugar and butter in a bowl. Cut the butter into the flour with two knives until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolks and work the ingredients together as a dough.
Press the dough into the base and sides of a loose-bottomed flan tin (about 24cm in diameter). Transfer to the refrigerator and allow to chill for 30 minutes.
For the filling, beat the eggs in a bowl and stir in the quark, sugar, sour cream, flour, vanilla extract, lemon zest and lemon juice. Pour this filling into the prepared pastry case.
Transfer to the centre of an oven pre-heated to 200°C and bake for between 30 and 35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is nicely browned and just set in the centre.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool in the tin. Turn out onto a cutting board and serve cut into small wedges or squares.
