Cake Recipe from an Old 14th Century Inn, Written in a Cookbook from 1894

Join me on a culinary journey through time as I prepare a traditional grape cake based on a recipe from 1894. This special recipe comes from the “Zu den Drei Mohren” inn in Augsburg, a place with a rich history. The inn, whose roots go back to the 14th century, was a meeting place for artists, politicians and nobles from all over Europe for centuries. It was considered a symbol of hospitality and exquisite cuisine. In this video, I bring a piece of that history back to life by baking a cake that once delighted guests of this renowned inn. Join me in discovering the stories that lie behind the old walls of the inn and experience the taste of the past with every bite of this delicious grape cake.
