Method:

Start by preparing the sponge. Whisk the eggs with the sugar until you achieve a thick, pale foam. Gradually fold in the sifted flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and finally, add the oil. Mix everything thoroughly, pour the batter into a cake tin (ours was 20 cm in diameter), and bake at 180°C for about 20 minutes.

While the sponge is baking, move on to preparing the pudding cream. Mix the pudding powder and sugar into the milk and cook until thickened. Once the pudding is hot, stir in the cream cheese and the ground hazelnuts, which should be toasted whole in a dry pan beforehand.

Spread the pudding cream evenly over the sponge and chill the cake in the fridge for 30 minutes. In the meantime, whip the cold cream with the icing sugar until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in the quark. Spread this mixture over the pudding layer. Chill the cake for at least another 2 hours in the fridge. Once set, sprinkle with grated chocolate, slice, and enjoy.
