This easy crumb cake has fruit tucked under the crumb topping. This Einfacher Streuselkuchen was sent in by another Gerhild! It was the first recipe sent in by another Gerhild (which is my name as well), Gerhild Naggert. It's one of those really easy German recipes that gets passed on through the generations.
It's similar, but totally different than my Streuselkuchen, especially in the method. So wonderful having a variety of different German foods to present for your Kaffeeklatsch!
Gerhild N. mentions that she prefers to use the blueberries or tart cherries because the resulting cake is moister. Apples work but the cake is not as moist. Perhaps, not as moist, but delicious, nevertheless! I made the cake above using two apples. Delicious, almost cookie-like. Great with our afternoon coffee.
Don't forget to check out the other recipes sent in by the other Gerhilds in the world. There aren't many of us, but we are SPECIAL!
Oma says,
When I made this (photo above) I used 2 apples, peeled and cut into thin slices.
I also used a 9" X 12" pan which made the base thinner than the recipe states.
The result was almost cookie-like. Hubby likened it to oatmeal cookies. Not a cake like base at all.
But, it was delicious and fit perfectly with our afternoon coffee. I will certainly make this again!

These delicious soups are truly made in no time at all, quick, as the title says, with ingredients that you most likely have on hand...
Included in the book are many ideas of substituting the original ingredients and turning-up the taste a notch or totally changing the taste of the soup...
...Gerhild makes it so easy! She takes away the fear of messing up or trying something new.
Quick Fix Soups is a great addition to my recipe collection, one I don’t want to miss.
