Heidesandcake

Hi Folks,

there are still a few days until christmas... So I'd like to share my favorite christmas cake with you. The cake is called "Heidesandkuchen". I couldn't find a translation but I think that doesn't bother anyway.

Sorry, the cake doesn't become as beautiful as the pictures you are always see at the internet but it tastes nevertheless yummy - This is real life! 

Maybe you can bake it the whole year but I like it most around Christmas, because I think with the filling it's christmassy .

Here's the receipe if you like to bake it yourself:

Ingredients

250 g	butter
250 g	plum jam
2 tbs	rolled oats
1 ts	grated lemon zest
250 g	flour
50 g	cornstarch
3 ts	baking powder
1/2 ts	cinnamon (optional)
150 g	sugar
1 pak	vanilla sugar
1 pinch	salt
4	eggs
	Cake icing

Instructions Tanning the butter and set aside until cool and creamy.
Mix Jam, oatmeal and lemon zest and set aside.
Create a sponge from all the other ingredients. Stir in the cooled butter.
Divide dough into 3 parts. Fill alternating with the jam mixture into the form.
Bake at 160°C for 50-60 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes then overthrow the cake.
When the cake has cooled, cover the cake with the glaze.

Enjoy you cake!
