Dresden Eierschecke
Also known as: Dresden egg custard cake, Dresdner Eierschecke
Three-layer cake with a yeast base, quark filling and airy egg-pudding topping.
About Dresden Eierschecke
Sachsen Tourismus presents Dresdner Eierschecke as a longstanding part of Saxon baking. Its recipe uses the traditional thin yeast base beneath a quark filling and a separate, airy egg layer.
Lemon zest flavours the quark mixture, while vanilla pudding contributes to both the filling and topping. Butter and sugar enrich the cake, and beaten egg whites lighten the upper layer.
The three layers bake together in a round springform. The cake rests and cools fully before slicing, revealing the firm base, moist quark centre and golden egg topping; coffee accompanies the regional cake-table tradition.
