Carrot Cake – Karottenkuchen

One of my favourites when I was a kid. I tweaked my mum’s recipe a bit to suit my taste. Makes a very nice and moist coffee cake. Very well liked by guests and co-workers. Makes a lot.

Coconut Kisses (“kokosbusserl”)

These small delicacies are rich, moist and full of flavour. And so simple. A traditional Austrian Christmas speciality absolutely worthy of being an all-year- rounder.

Classic Sachertorte (Austria)

This is Vienna’s “Pride and Glory.” This recipe is adapted from Rick Rodgers’ “Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafes of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.”

Austrian Coffee Cake (Abm)

This delicious yeast coffee cake can be made with either cherries, plums or apricots. The almond paste is quite difficult to grate, as is suggested in the original recipe, so I cut it up into little chunks and interspersed it between the pieces of fruit. Rising time is included in the preparation time.
