gugelhupf

Ingredients: butter, eggs, milk, yeast, flour, raisins, kirsch, sugar, salt


This is the third in the xmas trio of cakes, Traditional fare which needs its own baking container, but is well worth the trouble, especially if the raisins are allowed to seep in kirsch overnight.

apple tart


Ingredients: apples, raisins, cognac, redcurrant jelly, quark, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, almonds, flour, butter, salt


This is an apple tart with filling based on paskha, a russian cheesecake, traditionally, eaten at easter. It is one of the great desserts i remember from my soviet childhood. The raisins have been soaked in cognac overnight, which doesn't hurt...
