• Add the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder into a medium-sized bowl and give everything a stir with a spoon.

• Fold the whipped cream and quark into the mixture in the large bowl little by little using a spatula or large spoon. Make sure everything is well combined and there are no lumps. Set the mixture aside.
