It's called 'rose cake' because those layers look a bit like tight petals.

Ingredients - dough:

125 g quark
300 g flour
5 tbsp milk
1 egg
4 tbsp sunflower oil
1 tbsp rose water
4 tbsp powdered sugar
1 packet vanilla sugar
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp baking powder


mix up all ingredients and knead it till you have a smooth dough
roll out the dough to a long rectangle about 30x50cm

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Raisins

right after you took it out of the oven spread it with cooled syrup (made of 1:1 sugar-water and a bit lemon juice) otherwise the cake is going to be too dry

Finally, decorate it with roses (optional)

[Forozan]

a bit like Cinnamon rolls ... I mean the rolling the dough and cutting part ... ingredients differ. But overall, looks good. Will try it sometime.

[Toxic]

btw, what will be a good substitute to quark?

[Mahtaban]

Sorry, forgot to write that. You brush the cake with whisked egg yolk so it get's that colour in the oven.

btw, what will be a good substitute to quark?

I googeled a bit and found out that Curd cheese and Cottage Cheese should be the same as the german 'quark'-

For the dough you can substitue low-fat cream cheese or sour cream mixed with a bit milk for quark
and for the filling it's also possible to use mascarpone

The afghan alternative would be Mast'e Chakka (drained yoghurt) - I personally would prefer this for both dough and filling.

[Forozan]

^Erm ... I was referring to the dough.

Is quark a 'must' for the dough? Or can I substitute cream cheese or sour cream?

[Mahtaban]

Both should work as substitution. Try it and tell me how it goes.

Maybe dates or any other dried sweet fruit?

Or you just add another nut.....e.g.Hazel-, Macadamia-, Brazil- or Pecan nuts and because they would make the cake dry and not that sweet, you can make more syrup and dip the whole cake in it after it got baked (Don't forget the syrup has to be cooled but the cake must be hot)

[bibi_shereeni]

Mmm looks good.
