Austrian Apricot Cake – Marillenkuchen

When there are apricots in abundance, this cake can be found on every menu, shop and bakery. It’s unbelievably easy, tasty and quick to make. You can also swap plums for apricots. The yoghurt makes the dough extremely light and fluffy.

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.”
