This German Butter Cake, aka Butterkuchen or Zuckerkuchen, is often served for afternoon Kaffeeklatsch.
Using an easy bread machine method keeps the time in the kitchen to a bare minimum, while at the same time filling the house with such a fragrance!
I've had my Black and Decker All-In-One Breadmaker for years.
I use it for making breads, of course, but mostly for making dough. It's the easiest way I've found to make yeast doughs for all sorts of baking.
Brötchen and Kuchen. Staples of German baking!
When it's time to replace my current bread machine, I'll be buying another Black and Decker like the one shown here.

Along with the preprogrammed settings, it's larger, meaning I can make more dough (= more Brötchen!) and larger loaves.
If you really want to get your hands in there and do all the kneading, check out this German Butter Cake. (That's actually the photo of it!) But if you just want to throw all the ingredients into your bread machine, turn it on and do something else, you need to try this recipe.
Have Oma by your side ... helping you
Not only is this a basic yeast dough for this cake, but it works for so many others as a base.
Being that this is made with yeast, it tastes best fresh. However, if you want to preserve the freshness, freeze the cake for use on another day.
Oma says,
If at all possible, serve this warm with some whipped cream for a real treat.
Oma's German Butter Cake using Bread Machine ❤️

- Yeast Dough
- 2 tsp active dry yeast
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour

- For the topping, cut the butter into little knobs, placing them over the surface of the dough, slightly pushing them into the dough.
- Sprinkle with nuts (if using).
- Sprinkle with sugar.
- Cover and let stand in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Bake cake for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden.

- Serve warm if possible!
- Serves about 8

Thinking of starting your own Handmade Business?
This Oma KNOWS you CAN do it.
How do I know?
Well, if I can do it, anyone can.
I've even figured out how I can help you.
I've teamed up with my own business coach, Renae Christine (yes, do google her!), to bring you this free masterclass. After you watch it, ask me any questions and I'll gladly answer them.
Don't hesitate. I'm not sure how long Renae will keep this free masterclass available.
PS: Yes, Renae really is as amazing as all the reviews say.
PPS: Yes, the course is for handmade items, but I've used it successfully for my cookbooks. I know others are using her methods for services, direct sales, and even a local ice cream bar & grill that's constantly selling out. You've nothing to lose by taking a look ... and a whole bunch to gain.

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.
What a relief it is not having to go shop for ingredients you don’t know how to pronounce!
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.
Thank you, Gerhild, for inspiring us all and saving us time in the kitchen!
