Traditional German best cake recipes including the German Black Forest cake recipe and Poppy Seed Cake recipe, all delicious, yet quick and simple to make. For everyday traditional German desserts, I certainly don't have time to make a fancy German Black Forest Torte, and you probably don't either. But I sure would like to serve it to my grand kids when they spend the night. What to do?
Years ago, when our boys were young, I decided that easy, quick, and delicious would win out over beautifully decorated. Sometimes, I substituted some 'convenience items' or altered the method.
Just look at these fabulous cakes. You'll find these best cake recipes listed below.
The Black Forest Torte above is made like that. But you can make it look "real" with just a bit extra time, some whipped cream, and a pastry bag. The torte shown was made with the help of my 7-year old granddaughter, Lydia, as a Birthday Cake for her older sister.
The cake above, German Blitz Torte, is a delicious example of German best cake recipes that you can whip together quickly using ingredients you have on hand. Special for holidays and easy enough for a family dinner. YUMMY!
Even though quick and easy, these cakes look good, such as the German Apple Cake below, and they are certainly special enough for company.
The Hazelnut Torte below was so simple to make. I just rolled out purchased marzipan to cover the cake and decorated with whipped cream and almonds. It even surprised me how simple it was and how beautiful it looked.
For something a little bit different, check out my friend, Lorelie's Wedding Cakes for You website. She's got an awesome section on Cheesecakes - and they're not just for weddings.
When you look through these traditional best cake recipes, you'll notice that they really are quick and simple enough to treat your family tonight.
