Viennese Cakes
These are sweet ‘stick to the gums’ cakes. Very simple to make and look very pretty on a tray if you use a red jam.
Chocolate-Nut Bars
This is a recipe my day care mother used to bake all the time. It is easy to make, you can make a large amount and they keep quite a while if you keep them in a box, otherwise they will finish quickly.
Gluhwein
A very warming and very tasteful wintery drink that will warm you from within. This is a well known and very well “USED” recipe in the mountains of Europe. There are many variations to this recipe. I think this is by far the best.
Viennese Plum Cake
My mother and grandmother used to make this cake. My grandmother came to America in 1904 from the Burgenland in Austria, and she called this Viennese Plum Cake, so that’s what we call it. It has a firm, almost dry texture, but is rich with butter and eggs. I often make this cake with fresh sliced peaches. While sliced apples also work, I think plums, peaches, and apricots are the better complement with this particular cake.
Austrian Raspberry Shortbread
One of my favorite flavors is raspberry yum! Rich delicious cookies! *times don’t reflect freezing time.*
