    Marble cake

    Preparation time: approx. 30 minutes (plus baking and cooling time)

    Makes 15 slices

    For the cake mix

    300 g softened butter

    300 g sugar

    1 sachet vanilla sugar

    pinch of salt

    5 eggs

    300 g flour (type 405)

    1 tsp baking powder

    3 tbsp cocoa powder

    2 tbsp icing sugar

    50 ml milk

    Additionally

    butter and flour for the cake tin

    icing sugar for dusting

    1Grease a ring mould (26 cm diameter) and dust with flour. Pre-heat the oven to 200 °C (Gas Mark 6). Put the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt into a deep mixing bowl and beat until frothy with the whisk of a hand mixer. Then gradually add the eggs. Mix the flour and the baking powder in a bowl and sieve into the butter and egg mixture. Swiftly blend together with a wooden spoon.

    2Turn two-thirds of the cake mixture into the baking tin. Mix the cocoa, icing sugar and milk and add to the lighter mixture. With a fork, make large spiral movements at regular intervals from top to bottom through the cake mixture to slightly merge both colours.

    3Bake the cake on the middle shelf for approx. 45 minutes. Take out of the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes in the baking tin. Then turn out onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar just before serving.

    Cheesecake with soured cream

    Preparation time: approx. 30 minutes (plus baking and resting time)

    Makes 16 slices

    220 g flour

    salt

    230 g softened butter

    5 eggs

    230 g sugar

    juice and zest of ½ untreated lemon

    1 sachet vanilla sugar

    1 sachet baking powder

    2 sachets vanilla blancmange powder

    400 g traditional soured cream

    400 g double cream cheese

    250 g low-fat quark

    flour for the work surface

    1Make shortcrust pastry with the flour, a pinch of salt, 100 g of the butter and one egg. Roll into a ball, wrap in cling film and leave to cool for approx. 30 minutes.

    2Mix the rest of the softened butter with the sugar until frothy and then add the juice (approx. 3 tbsp) and zest of the untreated lemon and the vanilla sugar. Separate the remainder of the eggs and gradually add the egg yolks to the butter mixture. Mix together the baking powder and blancmange powder and add to the butter and egg cream. Then stir in the traditional soured cream, cream cheese and quark. Beat the egg whites and a pinch of salt with a clean whisk until stiff and stir in half a portion at a time into the mixture.

    3Line a springform tin (26 cm diameter) with baking parchment. Pre-heat the oven to 180 °C (Gas Mark 4). Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured work surface and place into the baking tin, pricking the pastry base several times with a fork. Pour the cream and egg mixture into the springform, level the top and bake in the oven for approx. 1 hour and 20 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the cake inside to rest for an additional approx. 10 minutes.

    Orange cake

    Preparation time: approx. 20 minutes (plus baking time)

    Makes 10 slices

    50 g walnut halves

    juice and zest of 1 untreated orange

    150 g butter

    3 eggs

    150 g sugar

    160 g flour

    1 heaped tsp baking powder

    pinch of salt

    2 tbsp honey

    butter and flour for the cake tin

    1Pre-heat the oven to 160 °C (Gas Mark 2.5), grease a loaf tin (20 cm in length) with butter and dust with flour. Roughly break up the walnut halves with a rolling pin. Wash and dry the orange, grate the zest finely and squeeze out the juice.

    2Melt the butter in a pan. Beat the eggs with the sugar until frothy. Mix together the flour and baking powder and stir into the egg and sugar mixture. Stir in the butter while still liquid and add the salt.

    3Add the walnut halves, orange zest, orange juice and honey to the cake mixture and stir well. Then turn into the loaf tin, level the top and bake for approx. 40 minutes. Leave to cool and serve dusted with icing sugar if desired.

    Carrot cake

    Preparation time: approx. 30 minutes (plus baking time)

    Makes 16 slices

    400 g carrots

    8 eggs

    300 g sugar

    200 g grated hazelnuts

    200 g grated almonds

    60 g cornflour

    juice and zest of 1 untreated lemon

    1 tsp cinnamon

    pinch of salt

    200 g icing sugar

    3 tbsp lemon juice

    12 marzipan carrots

    20 g chopped pistachios

    butter for the cake tin

    1Wash, trim and peel the carrots and grate finely. Set aside and pre-heat the oven to 175 °C (Gas Mark 3.5). Line a springform (26 cm diameter) with baking parchment and grease the rim.

    2Separate the eggs. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until frothy. Fold in the carrots. Mix the hazelnuts, almonds and cornflour and fold into the egg and carrot mixture. Wash the lemon in hot water, towel dry and grate the zest. Then squeeze out the juice. Add the juice and zest with the cinnamon to the mixture.

    3Beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff and carefully add to the egg and carrot mixture. Turn into the springform and level the top.

    4Bake the cake on the middle shelf for approx. 1 hour and 10 minutes. If the cake browns too quickly, cover with tin foil. Test with a skewer around 1 hour: if no mixture sticks to the skewer, the cake is ready. Leave to cool and then remove from the tin.

    5For the icing, mix the icing sugar with lemon juice and spread over the cake. Decorate with marzipan carrots and pistachios.
