0,5 tsp salt

120 g lime curd
200 g traditional quark 
50 g sugar
100 g sour cream
ca 2 tsp peppermint extract (3 tbsp vegetable oil+ 1 bunch of fresh peppermint. Make these into puree with hand blender and sieve the mix). Add extract so much that you feel peppermint taste strongly.

For decoration:
400 g whipping cream
250 g Mascarapone
800 g Strawberries
1 tsp vanilla extract
grated peel of 1 lime

For strawberry covering:
1 tsp gelatine
50 g water

Foam eggs with sugar to strong foam. Add flour and salt throw the sieve.
Mix carefully to avoid that the air will come out of the batter.
Cover cake tin bottom (diameter 24 cm) with baking paper and  pour the batter to the cake tin.
Bake at 200 C  ca 10 minutes.
Cool down completely.

For quark cream mix quark, sugar, sour cream and peppermint extract.

Assembling of cake:
Cut cake into two disks.
Cover one disk with lime curd and quark cream.
Put second disk to the quark cream.
Whip cream with sugar and add Mascarapone and vanilla extract and whip a little more.
Spread thin layer of cream to the cake ( top and sides).

Cut strawberries into halves and cover cake with strawberries.
Let gelatine swell in water and melt in water bath into even solution. Let it cool down to the room temperature.
Spread gelatine mix with brush to strawberries, so the strawberries will  shine nicely and will not dry in the air.
Put leftover cream to the piping bag and decorate cake accordingly to your wiches. You can grate lime peel to the cream- so you will get more colourful result 😊
