- Prepare the Shortcrust Base: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch (23cm) springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Make the Poppy Seed Filling: In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and poppy seeds. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Gradually add semolina flour, continue stirring until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat, stir in lemon zest, quark, and egg until smooth. Let the filling cool slightly.
- Prepare the Streusel Topping: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly.
- Assemble the Cake: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Spread the poppy seed filling over the chilled crust. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the filling.
- Bake: Bake for 45 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown. Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan.
