Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4. Mist 20 holes of 2 x 12-hole mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
2
Beat together the spread and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, a little at a time, along with the vanilla. Fold in the flour until combined.
3
Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin tins and bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden and springy to the touch. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then loosen the cakes and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
4
Meanwhile, make the filling: whisk the quark, icing sugar and vanilla extract together in a small bowl and chill until needed.
5
Slice the cooled sponges in half and sandwich with the vanilla quark mixture and jam. Dust the tops with the icing sugar just before serving.
