Today I’m going to show you a little variation & we bake an asparagus cake with white asparagus & salmon to match the season, also with a quark oil dough. Have fun baking!

…for asparagus cake with salmon:

Line the bottom of a springform pan with baking paper & snap the side edge in as usual, then grease the edge with a little butter & set the pan aside until further use. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat) in good time.

For the quark oil dough, put 225 grams of flour, 125 grams of quark, 75 milliliters of milk, 50 milliliters of oil, ½ sachet of baking powder & ½ teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl & use a food processor or mixer with dough hook to knead a smooth dough for 3 – 4 minutes.

Preparing Dough For Asparagus Cake

Then place the dough on a lightly floured work surface, knead briefly again with your hands, shape into a ball & then roll out with a rolling pin to a thickness of approx. 0.5 centimetres.

Lift the rolled out dough into the prepared springform pan & line the bottom and edges of the pan with the dough. Set the springform pan aside until further use.




Next put 3 eggs, 200 milliliters of cream and a good pinch of salt & pepper in a mixing bowl & whisk together, then set aside briefly.

Preparing Filling For Asparagus Cake

For the filling, peel the asparagus and cut into 4 – 5 centimeter pieces. Cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces, then put the asparagus & salmon in a bowl, season with a good pinch of salt & pepper & also add 1 – 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs.

Mix everything together briefly & then transfer the asparagus salmon mix into the prepared springform pan & spread evenly in it.




Pour the egg-cream mixture over it & finally spread some grated cheese on the surface. Then bake the asparagus cake for 50 – 60 minutes at 180°C (top/bottom heat) in the preheated oven until golden brown.

Serving Asparagus Cake with Salmon

Take the finished asparagus cake out of the oven, allow to cool down in the springform pan for about 10 minutes, then remove the springform pan, cut the cake into pieces & serve garnished with chopped parsley if you like. Happy baking!
