Aww thanks Ballerina!

if you would like the reciepe let me know! honestly very easy to do and can be made very low fat too, no idea about the calories though!

I use quark cheese and crème fraiche, which you can use the half fat versions and it will still come out lovely, promise!

Got this reciepe from sis in France...

I would love the recipe!!

Welcome to the Forums, Miss Lemon!

Oh me oh my! Looks superb - can i beg the recipe too please x

Yes please, would love the recipe please!

Oh that looks simply divine, such a talent to be able to cook like that

thank you all so much!

it really is easy to make, am no expert or anything, I think the trick is to whisk everything really well, put the ingredients in the order of the recipe, and you can add any fruit you like, but I think dried fruits work much better, the cherries on that pic are sainsburys ones and they were yummy,baked really well! the fresh fruits on the other hand tend to weigh down the cake...but still tastes lovely lol!
anyway, enough of all that, here is the recipe!

30 minutes to prepare
55 minutes to bake (give or take a little longer, when the top is browning take the cake out and cut through the middle with knife, should come out dry)

Ingredients ( 8 people roughly)

For the base:

250g digestives, you can use lower fat ones, I did and its great!
125 melted butter
1/2 nutmeg, grated, if you like it

Filling:

500g Quark cheese, vanilla or lemon, or natural depending on taste and fruit you want to use
150g sugar ,I use half spoon
2 tablespoons plain flour
250g pot of crème fraiche ( again here you can use the lower fat if you wish)
flavouring of choice, such as vanilla extract or lemon zest

To prepare:

1) pre heat oven 180c, line a 23cm /9 inches tin with removable base with baking paper

2) Crush the biscuits, (I put them in a bag and use a heavy tin lol) then mix them with the melted butter and line on tin base evenly with the back of a spoon and put in the fridge whilst you are preparing the filling

3) In a large mixing bowl, whip the quark cheese till smooth, then add the sugar and the flour,then the eggs one at a time. Now add the crème fraiche and fruits/flavouring of your choice.

4) Take tin out of fridge and pour in the mixture,if there is surplus remove it or it might burn.

Bake for about an hour,untill firm to the touch but do the knife test

leave to cool down and refrigerate until nice and cold, and don't take out of the tin until then!

Place on a serving plate and enjoy!

Hope that is not too complicated but I promise you its the easiest cake I have ever made lol
