This is a skinny reinvention of one of my favorite cakes: cheese cake. But it has to be a German version made with quark. Since quark is a rare and hard to find luxury item in the US, I make my own (see post below).
Cake base layer:
1/4 cup Krusteaz pancake mix
1/4 cp butter milk
1 Tbsp egg beaters
1 TB Splenda
¼ ts vanilla
¼ ts baking soda
Cheese cake filling
4 TB lf quark (or lf ricotta)
1/2 ts vanilla
1 TB eggbeaters
1 TB splenda
1/2 TB Krusteaz pancake mix
Cherry filling:
1/3 cp cherry pie filling, canned, splenda
1/2 ts vanilla
1 TB Torani SF Raspberry syrup
Make the batter and the fillings in separate bowls. For the cheese cake filling, mix quark and other ingredients until it is a really smooth, creamy texture. Mix the cherry pie filling with the vanilla and the raspberry syrup.
Fill batter in a small, sprayed spring form, and bake at 400F for 5 min. Take out of oven, pour cherry mix over solid surface of the cake base, and pour cPublish Postheese filling on top of cherries. Bake for another 20-25 min at 400F. Let cool to room temperature before serving.

Here is a simple way of how I make my own quark.
