Baumkuchen German Tree Cake バームクーヘン

Plain flour

tsp baking powder

eggs

confectioner's sugar

ml milk

unsalted butter

tbs honey

Oil and a crepe pan

Separate yolks and white. Leave the yolks in the room temperature and refrigerate the white.

Sift plain flour and baking powder. Set it aside.

Place butter, milk and honey in a microwave proof bowl and cover with cling wrap.

Microwave the milk and butter mixture for 1 minute on 600w to dissolve butter completely.

Make meringue. Place egg white and 1/3 of the sugar and beat. Add another 1/3 of sugar and beat. Add the remaining of the egg white and beat until the meringue is shiny and forms a stiff peak.

Add all egg yolks at once and mix well.

Fold the sifted flour in three different times.

Take a scoop of the mixture from step 7 and add it to milk and butter mixture.

Mix them well, then return it to the flour and egg mixture and stir wll to make batter.

Heat 24cm crepe pan grease the surface with oil and spread flat thinly and rectangle shape if possible.

When bubble formed, flip it over carefully to not break it and cook the other side briefly.

Place the first layer on a chopping board. Place s prepared rolling pin over the edge and roll.

On the crepe pan grease the surface with oil and spread the second layer.

When bubble formed, place the core on the edge of the batter and roll.

Repeat the process for remaining batter. Cool the cake down. *2 Take the core out and slice it about 2cm (0.8 inch) thick to serve.

Cute recipe but the layers do not stick really well together. Maybe after a night in the fridge, or maybe with a ganache it would be better. Nice taste, cute result. I recommand !

Hi from Germany, I've tried your recipe today, and it turned out quite well even though I think it's a bit complex for beginners. I also noticed that my dough hasn't formed bubbles no matter how long I've waited. Instead it already had bubbles before I spread a layer on the pan. Moreover the upper surface of the layer was still raw, so whenever I rolled the core one side remained raw. Maybe the layer was still too thick?
Anyway it finally worked at my second attempt when I flipped the layers respectively. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Regarding storage: Is it better to store the cake in the fridge or at room temperature to keep it moist and fluffy? Shall I cut it into slices beforehand or only when I want to eat?

Thank you ^_^

I thought the animated hearts radiating from the 'like' button were tiny spiders crawling all over my screen. I nearly had a heart attack!!! Five stars.

Update from a few hours ago
My 13-year-old daughter and I went ahead with the 6 eggs and it turned out oishii. I wish there was a way to attach photos to show you how they look. She did most of the work and I just guided her. I love that they are the perfect sweetness. We had fun together while making a delicious dessert.
Arigato for the recipe!
