water cake

As a sponge cake for adding toppings or juice and fruits this cake is super fluffy and has no milk.

Ingredients:
6 eggs
300 g sugar
80 ml fruit juice - peach, pineapple, mango...
Lemon zest from half a lemon
200 g flour
1tb east
3 drops of lemon juice

As usual whipp the ingredients except for the egg whites, then whipp the egg whites with the three drops of lemon juice until stiff and bring both together ever so lightly.

I usually chose the fruit juice according to the fruits I am going to cover the cake with. But best avoid orange juice because it gets bitter when heated in the baking. If you chose an orange cake better let it cool and then drip the juice over it, you can use pineapple juice or water for the dough.

kaiserschmarn

Kaiserschmarn - the worst of this recipe is getting the name right. 😅
Best Desert I ever tasted in Munchen, Germany.

I would add that it is easy, looks yummy yet rustic so there is no goong wrong with the platting.

Ingredients:

6 eggs
400ml milk
200gr flour
2tb spoons of raisens
1tb spoon of sugar
1 packet of vanilla 
1 pinch of anis
1 pinch of salt
3 drops of lemon juice
1tb of rum (optional)

Final ingredients:
1 pinch of cinnamon per pancake
1 pinch of icing sugar per pancake
Enough butter to fry on a pan
Enough sugar to caramelize surface

Whipp all ingredients, but the egg whites together. 
Whipp the egg whites with the drops of lemon juice until stiff.
Join both into a soft dough, with care not to beat the air out of the egg whites.

In a frying pan put enough butter to cover the surface after melted.
Add a thin layer of the dough, about 0.5-1cm. 
Let it bake in low heat until you can see bubbles on the surface.
Add a spoon of sugar on the surface and flip the thick pancake over. It should break into pieces, that is part of the charm.
Let it bake until it caramelizes the surface below. Set a side and repeat with the remaining dough.
Serve with a drizzle of cinnamon and if you want to go the extra mile add icing sugar.
