🍫 German Baumkuchen Recipe
Ingredients:
6 eggs
150g softened butter
150g sugar
1 tsp vanilla
100g flour
50g starch (cornstarch)
1 tsp baking powder
100ml milk
200g chocolate (for coating)
Preparation Method:
1. Beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla together until the mixture becomes creamy.
2. Gradually add the eggs while continuing to beat the mixture.
3. Mix the flour, starch, and baking powder, then add them to the batter, alternating with the milk.
4. Pour a very thin layer of batter into a round pan and bake it under the broiler (grill) until lightly browned.
5. Add another layer on top and bake; repeat this process until all the batter is used and the signature multiple layers are formed.
6. Once the cake has cooled, coat it with melted chocolate.
7. Let it set, then slice and serve. 🍰🤎
The secret to its beauty: The thinner and more even the layers, the more beautiful and elegant the Baumkuchen looks. ✨
