Tiroler Cake

This is my cousin’s recipe. A ‘cake’ in Swiss is traditionally one made in a loaf pan. This is a good coffee cake.

Kaiserschmarrn With Peaches

This Austrian pancake can be served for breakfast or dessert. This version makes great use of summer time fruits- peaches and blackberries. However, other combinations of fruits, fresh and dried, can be used instead.

Viennese Chocolate Pepper Cookies

Put these thin little chocolate cookies on your holiday platter & let tasters be surprised, very surprised. The black pepper and allspice gives unexpected snap. Found in The Washington Post, adapted from “The Ultimate Chocolate Cookie Book,” by Bruce Weinstein. Make the dough & chill – this allows you to bake when you want to, as many as you want at a time.

Topfenpalatschinken – Crepes With Quark Filling

This is another classic Viennese dessert. Thinly baked crepes, filled with a Quark Cream filling and finished in the oven. It is important to use authenthic German Quark/Topfen. Some of the upscale markets and German deli’s in the US carry it but if you can’t find it, there is a fantastic recipe for home made Quark already posted. “Recipe #476124”, it’s easy and inexpensive to make and works perfect for this recipe.
