Ingredients:

For the pancake batter:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the quark filling:

• 2 cups quark cheese (can substitute with Greek yogurt or cream cheese)
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

• 1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional)
• Maple syrup or honey, for serving

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
5. Pour half of the pancake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. In another bowl, mix together the quark cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
7. Spread the quark filling evenly over the pancake batter in the baking dish.
8. Pour the remaining pancake batter over the quark filling, spreading it out to cover the filling.
9. If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds over the top of the pancake casserole for added texture and flavor.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pancake is golden brown and cooked through.
11. Remove from the oven and let the pancake casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
12. Serve slices of the sweet pancake casserole warm, drizzled with maple syrup or honey.

This sweet pancake casserole with quark filling is a perfect breakfast or brunch dish for special occasions or lazy weekends. Enjoy the creamy, indulgent filling surrounded by fluffy pancake layers for a delightful treat that’s sure to please everyone at the table!
