Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut the butter into pieces and add together with the egg yolks and yoghurt/cream. Knead into a smooth dough.
02
Divide the dough into two equal halves. Shape one half into a ball and place in the fridge.
03
Line the baking tin with baking paper and cover evenly with the other half of the dough. Also place in the fridge.
04
After 1 hour cooling time, remove the base from the fridge and bake in the preheated oven at 180 °C for 15 minutes.
05
Meanwhile, for the cheese mixture, beat the soft butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, stirring constantly. Then add the Polish quark / curd and stir until smooth. Finally, stir in the custard powder.

After the baking time, remove the base from the oven and pour the cheese mixture over it. Take the other half of the dough out of the fridge and roughly grate or crumble over the cheese mixture.

Put the tin back in the oven, reduce the temperature to 170 °C and bake for approx. 60 minutes. Then leave to cool completely.
