German Pastry Series – Week 5 (04/02/22)

Week 5 – Cakes I:

• Bienenstich
  • This is a traditional Blechkuchen made from a yeast dough and topped with a butter-sugar-almond mixture. During baking, this topping caramelizes, giving the cake a shiny appearance. After baking, the cake is often also filled with a vanilla cream.
• Kasekuchen
  • Käsekuchen is a cheesecake made with Quark or other fresh, unripened cheese. It is not typically made with cream cheese as the American version of the cheesecake is.
