Baumkuchen in Christmas time
Looking for a Christmas cake?
Baumkuchen is a German Christmas treat and a traditional gift during this time! This tree cake has one of the oldest recipes that has passed down from generation to generation, it is common to see Baumkuchen transformed into the body of Santa Claus, with marzipan head hands and feet!
However, some homemade recipes remain very traditional, where families come together to make Baumkuchen at home, using only a broiler and putting the cake layers underneath. The finished cake can then be cut in different shapes and thinness. Nowadays, the tradition continues using Baumkuchen as a Christmas cake.
