When it comes to classic cakes from Germany, most people immediately think of the iconic Black Forest cake.

So, what other delectable cakes do Germans indulge in, and how are these sugar-laden treats made healthier without sacrificing flavor?
In our newest episode of "Germany In A Nutshell," Euromaxx reporter Hannah Hummel takes you on a mouth-watering journey through Germany's diverse cake culture.

  • One of my favourite cakes is bee sting with cream, or strawberry fruit cake and eggnog cake. Also gotta love moss cream cake - it's dark cocoa dough with cream, sprinkled with coffee-powder that takes on a nice green colour after a while.

    • I'm bamboozled with your statement. Cause "soup and cake" might be the American or French version, having cake as desert. The german tradition is, to separate this into two meals. Cake is no desert in any way , unless they try to mimic american tradition.

    • @holger - don't quite agree with you there - soup and cake in Southern Germany is indeed one whole - simple and delicious - (lunchtime) meal, e.g. potato soup and plum tart, potato soup and Apple fritters, etc. Gets eaten together. Can't speak for the Northern German eating traditons...... I am 74 years now (German), and my grandmother cooked it a lot, delicious- but yes, it might sound strange to a newcomer in Germany, on the other hand, in the North they have their 'sweet' soups, maybe adapted from the sweet main courses from Sweden??? 😂😅

    • @@christianedoeur9394 I was talking about deserts (two courses), not sweet meals. That's more something like Kompott or Pudding. And the extra afternoon cake meal. In contradiction, since the other nations don't have the afternoon meal, their only chance to have cake is desert time. So they have it only after lunch or dinner, which for Germans is still an exception, even if you have examples. I have heared, a bakery in Germany is producing the cakes for Germany bigger than for France, cause Germans have bigger servings (cause it's a meal 4 hours after lunch), and for French it's a small desert.

  • In my experience, eating candy or cookies isn't as popular in Germany as it is for example in the USA. Because people don't eat that many sweets throughout the week, eating cake and coffee on Sundays is regarded as a special treat/tradition for enjoyment of the weekend. I regard Berlin as the best place in Germany to enjoy cake and coffee culture, all regional specialties can be found in the city. My favourite is Krunzkuchen with Marzipan almond paste and raisins; my other favourites are Mohnkuchen & Beinstich. I recommend all of them, particularly from a Naturkost or KaDeWa.

  • My coworkers always wonder why I dont drink coffee in the morning but always around 16 o'clock (often with a piece of cake, if I manage to get one). Well, I grew up on the farm of my uncle. And coffee and cake, usually around 4 p.m., is something very, very common on the farms and ranches in Schleswig-Holstein. I simply grew up with it.

  • I love creamy stuff and Schwarzwälder and Bienenstich are understandably on the top of my list. However, my favorite German desert is an exception from this rule and that is Streuselkuchen. I've never found something similar in other countries on the continent, I would classify this as the most typical German desert, and again, it so happens to be my favorite.

  • Once I had a big discussion with Canadians, who did not expect me to categorize an apple pie as cake. We could find common ground on Strudel. But it's an underestimated false friend, to translate Kuchen with cake or vice versa. And what the french call a tarte, is a pie in English, but not Torte in German. Only common thing: it's round. Now what about Blechkuchen ? People are lost.

    • Addiction comes from the combination of fat + sugar. It's easy to separate, especially in German cakes. Either you make a dough without fat, like brioche, or you reduce the sugar and take fruits only. The only combination are crumbs, but they are used in small quantities, just for the crunch and the caramel taste.

Of course french patisserie is "more refined" but for no purpose and nobody is doing it at home. The worst are the americans, if they talk about cake, they don't care about baking at all.
