Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare your baking pan.
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk the eggs until thick and pale, then fold into the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, ensuring it's spread evenly.
  4. Arrange sliced peaches over the batter, pressing them in lightly.
  5. Mix quark with sugar until smooth, then spread this over the peaches and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  6. Bake the cake for about 30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
