Baumkuchen became the "king of cakes" and even represented the confectioner's craft as a whole with its depiction on the official emblem. Following the tree cake's triumphal procession, centers of the art of baking Baumkuchen established mainly in the east of Germany. Among those, the town of Salzwedel undoubtedly formed the capital. Baumkuchen is a traditional German cake.
Steps to make Sig's Traditional Baumkuchen (Tree Cake):
- Preheat oven to 220°, you do need use the griddle function of the oven for this cake. Grease a springform pan. I use a square one but you can use any. Line this with baking paper.
- Separate the eggs. First whisk the whites to a peak with a small pinch of salt then whisk in the sugar and vanilla sugar, carry on whisking for a few more minutes.
- Mix the flour, fine ground almonds, cinnamon and cornflour, gently lift under the eggwhites until combined, set aside.
- Grate the marzipan with the milk and rum, then puree them together, set aside. In a bowl cream the butter and icing sugar, then add each egg yolk separately, mixing them in. Add the marzipan puree. Grate and add the orange peel, mix in. Gently lift the egg white mix under.
- Now you scoop about 2 and to 4 tablespoons of the mixture into your cake tin depending on size of tin and spread evenly across the bottom of the tin. Bake in oven for a few minutes until slightly browned, remove from oven, slightly cool layer, spread another 2 tablespoons of mixture over repeat process until you used up all mixture. Depending on size of tin this makes about 10 to 12 layers.
- Cool the cake, lift out of tin. Cut the cake lengthways in half. Spread with jam. (optional) top with other half of cake.
- Melt chocolate gently with a spoonful palm fat or readymade chocolate cake covering. You can now either cover the whole cake (but you will need twice amount of chocolate) or you can pour the melted chocolate over the top of equally cut separate traditional triangles. Really hope you enjoy this cake.
- Serve with either clotted or whisked cream and or a little of the apricot jam if you not used it in the cake if you like. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
The appearance of the cake resembles a tree's growth rings. It is labour intensive cake if you make it in the traditional way, but I am going to show you how to make this beautiful cake at home the easy way! Originally, the cake batter is poured over a rotating rod in front of a broiler to form the rings of your tree cake. Since few of us have that technology at home, the rings of homemade Baumkuchen will come as thin layers. But you need to know in advance: while an authentic German Baumkuchen impresses when it comes to both looks and taste, it.
