Description

Craving a sweet treat? Try baumkuchen, a delight to pamper your taste buds. Although having originated in Germany baumkuchen, a kind of layered cake, is currently one of the most popular pastries in Japan. Its ingredients are typically butter, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and flour. The lines appear as it is being baked on a spit by brushing on even layers of batter and then rotating the spit. Each layer is then allowed to brown before a new layer of batter is added. Baumkuchen is less sweet than normal cakes, thanks to the particular baking technique. Best choice to serve with a cup of tea in the afternoon or as a dessert!
