Ham Viennese
Incredibly easy and equally satisfying. I loved this as a kid growing up and is our kid’s often requested dinner.

Gugelhopf is a southern German, Austrian, Swiss and Alsatian term for a marble cake or Bundt cake. It can either be a bread or cake. The recipe I got this from was for a bread but we found it to be too dry so I started using a cake mix. We have it every Christmas. My Mom even gave me a Gugelhupf cake pan.
This recipe is from week 17 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Austria is my 17th stop. This side dish is a delicious and simple way to eat Brussels sprouts.
I created that recipe myself, after I wanted to make a syrup but didn’t have all the ingredients of a recipe that I had read. I love it and thought, I might share it here.
I had too much fresh thyme left and didn’t know what to do. So after I had made all different kinds of syrups all day, I thought whether a syrup could be made out of thyme and had the idea that thyme would taste great with roses. As I am half-Iranian – I have never seen an Iranian who really measures 😉 – I just went along with the ingredients I still had left, but to create a recipe, I actually did measure what I used 😉 Regarding the rock sugar I used 2 pieces of saffron-rock sugar, each of the size of a lychee. And the reason why I used gelling sugar was that I had not enough normal sugar left, so you may try the recipe using more normal sugar instead of the gelling sugar 🙂
