Frankfurter Gruntz

Thu, 14 Apr 2005 14:25:02 -0400

I found this recipe that was MIA for 15 years while unpacking after the move to Florida. It is delicious and starts with a frozen pound cake. The filling starts with 2 packages cook and serve vanilla pudding. Cook time is for the almonds and pudding only. -- posted by mandabears

German Fruit Cake Bottom

Wed, 27 Apr 2005 16:20:23 -0400

Typically baked in a special round form that bakes a rim for easier filling, but any round 11 inch form will do. Fill baked bottom with 3/8 inch (1 cm) pastry cream or thick vanilla pudding and top with fresh fruit like strawberries. Keep strawberries from toppling off the cake by pouring a little strawberry flavored prepared jello over strawberries. When set cut cake into 12 wedges. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on the side. -- posted by Inge 1505

German Coffee Cake With Nuts and Chocolate ( Nusskuchen )

Wed, 18 May 2005 14:55:12 -0400

My most requested recipe. It also got me the sweetest compliment I ever had on my baking. - When the five year old french niece of my best friend came visiting with her parents she was very shy. When she had tasted a little of the cake she insisted that everone present, please try the cake immediately, because "c'est le meilleur gateau du monde" - it is the best cake in the world! And that is what my friends call it now when requesting it. :) - We like it topped with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream. -- posted by Inge 1505

Sand Cake

Sun, 22 May 2005 04:45:32 -0400

Sand cakes are typical fare at German Kaffeeklatsch (coffee with some friends at about 4 p.m.). I post this in answer to a request for Sand Cake. This is different from the classical one (a pound cake), where you cream the butter with sugar and eggs, then add flour. This should be more like a firm sponge cake, where you beat eggs with sugar first, then fold in flour and MELTED butter! It is from one of my favourite cookbooks Schwarzer, Horst et al.: Das ist Kochen, Germany, 1981. I haven't tried it yet, so if you do, let me know. :) -- posted by Inge 1505

Sandcake

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 16:02:32 -0400

An easy cake usually used for deserts. The secret is that you really need to mix the ingredients for a long long time. At least ten minutes for the butter, then an additional ten when adding the eggs and so on. -- posted by Chef Frank Kanu

Mini Pound Cake / Cupcakes With Chocolate Bits

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 16:23:56 -0400

The mini version of a typical German kuchen. A quick and simple recipe that tastes even better the next day when flavors had time to blend. - Instead of baking 3 or 4 cupcakes for the two of us, I bought a miniature bundt cake form, holding 2 cups of batter. I like to chop good quality chocolate with a knife making uneven-sized chips better than ready made chips for the difference in flavor and texture. Nice with a cup of tea or coffee. -- posted by Inge 1505

Traditional German Plum Cake (Zwetschgenkuchen)

Tue, 02 Aug 2005 05:46:04 -0400

Summer Time is Zwetschgenkuchen time for me. This traditional German Plum Cake will be made with Damson Plums on a yeast dough. After your first mouthful of this juicy cake you will be addicted to the wonderful flavors of plums, cinnamon, yeast dough and whipped cream. I can't wait to get the first plums (Zwetschgen) every year to make one of my favorite fruit cakes. -- posted by Thorsten

This is a wonderful cake from Germany and well worth the time it takes to make. And what's great is that half of the dough recipe will be used for Zimt Nusskuchen (Cinnamon Nut Cake), so you can make two great cakes at the same time. Note: This recipe does include Almonds.

This is a great moist and versatile cake and a long German tradition that followed me throughout school and into adulthood. Somebody was always bringing Hermann along. This is how you give birth to Hermann. Check out part 2 HERMANN The Feeding and Care for instructions on how to raise your Hermann baby. Oh, and dont forget to check out his big brother Siegfried!

Lene's Bester Apfelkuchen (Lene's Best Apple Pie)

Thu, 12 Jan 2006 14:25:29 -0500

This is my auntie Lene's recipe for a German style apple pie which is different from a standard American or English pie. The crust is finer and the whole pie is deeper. My mum always makes it when my BF and I come to Germany for a visit and he just can't get enough of it. Sorry it's only metric at the moment, next time I'll make it I'll measure in cups. Also, my mum tends to make the actual filling without actual measurements, so you might want to adjust amounts slightly to your liking. You can add raisins, about 1/4 of a cup, but I don't like them so much so I leave them out. You can make the filling ahead or make double the amount and freeze some for the next time, just leave out the almonds and add them after you have defrosted it. It seems like a lot of work, but it is quite simple and well worth the effort. Serve with freshly whipped cream and I'll promise you, you'll love it! -- posted by -Sylvie-

Traditional German Obst Kuchen - Fresh Fruit Flan (Sponge Cake)

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 14:18:26 -0400

Traditional German Obst Kuchen is a Fresh Fruit Flan with a sponge-type cake base, sometimes with a thin layer of custard, topped with fresh fruit and then sealed with a fruit glaze. Obst Kuchen is very typically served throughout Germany during the afternoon coffee hour, with dollops of freshly whipped cream. One of my favorite toppings is fresh whole strawberries with a red currant or strawberry glaze. Fresh raspberries or other fresh or canned fruits such as kiwis, apricots, cherries, gooseberries, and pineapple are also popular. The traditional pan used is a 10-inch German flan pan, however a torte or springform pan would also work. Adapted from my friend Maite C's Obst Kuchen Boden recipe that was given to me when we were stationed at Ft. Campbell KY. -- posted by BecR

A friend of mine in the states recently asked for this recipe so I thought I would post my Americanized version here. Careful not to bake the cake too long or it will get dry. The reason it is called Bee Sting Cake is because honey is a traditional ingredient in the almond glaze. My absolute favorite German pastry of all time! Perfect for "Kaffee Klatsch" or as a special treat. Lecker! -- posted by Chrystabel

German Chocolate Sponge Cake: Schokolade Biskuittorte

Mon, 14 Aug 2006 23:04:04 -0400

Milk and vegetable oil add moisture to this sponge cake gently flavored with cocoa. I like to serve this cake with whipped cream. For the whipped cream, Confectioners sugar is preferred to granulated sugar because the small amount of cornstarch in the former discourages the weeping that occurs when whipped cream stands for longer than a few hours. A hint of vanilla is imperative. Learn to distinguish between the stages of whipped cream; it doesnt always have to be stiff. As a garnish for a dessert, the goal is softly beaten Schlagsahne that barely mounds. When used for piping, cream should be whipped to the stiff stage. Of course there is an in between stage, too, used for when the cream is the base for a torte filling. Take care not to over whip the cream, at which point it has a coarse, grainy texture and is well on its way to becoming butter. -- posted by Olha

Baked Apple Cake

Thu, 23 Nov 2006 10:36:59 -0500

Do you like baked apples? Do you like cake? Then you will love this treat. This cake will make a wonderful dessert or a different treat for an afternoon break. I use very small apples for this cake. I love the baked apples flavours in combination with a more dry texture of the cake. The cake is not overly sweet and will take up any juices from the apples. The taste of the slightly tart apples, which are still a bit firm after baking and the fluffy texture of the cake is great. The apples are stuffed with my favorite combination of marzipan, raisins and rum. If you want to make it for kids, you can sub the rum (see note on this). Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. -- posted by Thorsten

Baumkuchen has earned its reputation as the "King of Cakes." This labor-intensive German cake gets it name, which translates literally as Tree Cake, from the many thin rings that form as layer upon layer of cake is baked. 200 years German bakers have been producing this treat. The cake is sliced showing each layer is divided from the next by a golden line, resembling the rings on a crosscut tree. Christmas holiday treat. -- posted by ~Rita~

The story is that the original recipe was created in Austria in the 1830's to console the Duke of Vienna, who was bereft from the loss of one of his chefs. The base is very like a shortbread cookie. Some versions of this recipe call for the base to be baked in a larger pan and assembled in one large layer. When I made it, I baked the base in one big piece and divided it equally into thirds to stack. Baking time approximate.

Apple Streusel Cake

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 01:11:23 -0400

This is a traditional German dessert given to me by my German friend Nicola. It's some work, but absolutely delicious and worth it! The streusel amounts are approximate as you have to mix it together with your hands until you reach the perfect crumbly texture that make it streusel. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Farmhouse Holidays Double Chocolate Praline-Fudge Cake

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 03:08:28 -0400

Snowflakes drifting by the frosty windows, but inside we're listening to Christmas carols and decorating cut-out cookies. Dad comes and stomps the snow from his boots. Christmas Saturday, and we're ready for a piece of this special fudgy cake to load up our plates, with a glass of icy milk alongside. COOKING TIME includes chilling the cake. Thanks to Gooseberry Patch for another excellent recipe. -- posted by Debber

Dresdner Stollen /Christstollen

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 01:11:51 -0500

Stollen has been sold at the Dresden Christmas market since the 15th century. Each year the city puts on a Stollen Festival to celebrate the food that takes its name from the Saxon city. In imitation of the gigantic Stollen baked in the city in 1730 on the occasion of Augustus the Strong's grand festival of baroque proportions, each year the bakers of Dresden produce a 3000 to 4000 kg stollen. It is cut into half-pound sections and served to the festival visitors. The following recipe won't supply an entire city but the two 12-inch loaves it produces will feed a good-sized family. Based on a recipe from German Traditional Cooking by Tony Schmaeling -- posted by 1Steve

German Lebkuchen Cake With White Chocolate Frosting

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:42:58 -0500

Bon Appétit | December 1991 This moist Christmas cake takes its cues from the flavors and spices found in the classic Lebkuchen cookie. It's brushed with an orange-scented honey syrup, frosted with a creamy white chocolate icing and then surrounded by sliced almonds. I haven't made this yet but I love Lebkuchen cookies and this cake sounds wonderful. -- posted by swissms

Sauerkraut Cake Without Eggs

Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:35:11 -0500

I was so surprised to see that all of the sauerkraut cakes require at least 3 eggs. This cake does not require any eggs. I have been making this for many years and no one seems to get tired of it. I also serve with mocha whipped cream on special occasions. It is a heavy thick batter that needs to be spread in the pans. It has a wonderful taste and consistency.It was on a recipe card from the 60's and I have adapted over the years.Photo shown of cake with mocha cream cheese frosting. The cake is fat free without frosting. Do not overcook or the sides will be chewy. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

Easy Peasy Black Forest Cake

Fri, 20 Feb 2009 18:04:53 -0500

At 8pm on his birthday, after the shops had shut and after weeks of saying that he didn't care what we ate as long as it involved beer, DB decided that what he REALLY wanted was black forest gateau. Go figure. This isn't really dark or slick enough to be black forest gateau, but it's what I made with what I had in the cupboards, and was pretty quick and easy to do, and involved chocolate, cream and cherries - so after a couple of cans and a lasagne it sufficed! Probably a good recipe for kids who aren't ready for the really rich and bitter flavour of proper BFG. -- posted by Boo L

Eggless Orange Spice Bundt Cake

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 01:23:07 -0400

This is actually a recipe I got from a vegan site. It was originally a chocolate bundt recipe, but I modified the hell out of it, and it turned out quite well. It's also really low fat, unlike most bundt cake recipes that require 400 sticks of butter and a couple of tubs of sour cream. It's also great for people who are allergic to eggs (it's more common than people think). -- posted by Tiny Tima

Chock-full of grated apples and chopped walnuts, this is a wonderfully dense and moist cake.It is especially delicious at the height of apple season, however, it is so tasty that I'm sure that you'll want to make it year round. -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

Zwetschgenkuchen (Bavarian Plum Cake)

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 13:23:56 -0400

This is a traditional fresh plum cake, thought to have originated in the town of Augsburg, Germany. It is made with fresh Italian prune plums which are at their peak in late summer. Perfect for the afternoon coffee hour. Serve at room temperature, with a dollop of fresh whipped cream! -- posted by BecR

Garth Brook's German Chocolate Cake With Coconut Frosting

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:44:53 -0500

Trisha Yearwood says every February, when it's Garth Brooks birthday, she makes this beautiful and delicious cake for him. She says last fall, Garth made a sad statement like only three more months until you make me that awesome German chocolate cake again! She made the cake the next day. She doubles the frosting recipe to frost the entire cake, because Garth likes extra frosting, but one recipe will frost the tops of the layers and do the trick just fine- unless you are Garth! If you have some frosting left over, it's good spread on graham cracker or on brownies. Okay, it's also good right off the spoon! Enjoy! -- posted by Sharon123
