german chocolate cake isn’t from germany, it was invented by a man called german
True, but almost EVERY American thinks, it came originally from Germany... I mean, at first it was called "Baker Germans Chocolate Cake", the Baker got lost and here we are, confusing every ordinary American
@@voldavkuk hey, at least hamburgers aren't that confusing
@@HappyBeezerStudios Hamburg is also the capital of McDonalds. 😉😅
Yes. Samuel German
If you are looking for a great chocolate cake, search for french chocolate cake
Only restaurants are open on a Sunday in Germany so there’s time for family and friends in the afternoon. It’s just sociable and fun to have coffee and cake. Most people don’t eat a hot meal in the evening. Dinner is Abendbrot in German and means evening bread. People usually have bread with cheese/meat bread toppings. Therefore it’s no big deal to have cake in between. Kindergartens, schools and clubs have open days and events and they usually ask people to bring homemade cake to sell there with coffee.
Not only restaurants but coffee shops and cafes are open on Sundays.
@@grandmak. And corner shops, museums, petrol stations, theatres, concert halls, libraries depending where you are.
And up north in the coastal regions of Schleswig-Holstein supermarkets and regular shops are free to open every day of the week. This is called "Die Bäder Regelung" (the bath rule) 😅
@@grandmak. in the cities yes. Smaller places not
@@hightidemidafternoon Living in the Baltic Sea area I can confirm that.
@@scarba Sorry but I used to run a little cafe in a village of 2600 inhabitants and we were open on Sundays - that was actually the most popular day for our business. The same for cafes in surrounding villages. ( Landcafe / Hofcafe ).
When I grew up my mom made Cake for "Kaffee und Kuchen" every single day around 3 or 4 pm. Not only on Sundays. And this cake always was made from scratch - never bought in a store....It's definitely a very german thing.
that sounds not very healthy tho
It's not only going out for Kaffee und Kuchen, but it is also a big issue in family life. Every family celebration starts with coffe and cake in the afternoon. When we come together my daughters and nices will bring home made cake or torte. Before that it were my sisters and I, and before that my mother and her sisters in law. You see the pattern? Coffe and cake sometimes can come with sweet liquor such as Cointreau, Amaretto, or Baileys. As long no children are involved. In everyday life in our family it is standard to bake 1 cake at least once a week, certainly a simpler one like loaves or tray bake. Hope it's understandable, had to use the dictionary a few times...
Don't tell me you never heard of a Kuchengabel or dessert fork?😂
Or „Tortenheber“ ^^
@@xxcu83xxxx4 or Gebäckzange
And isn't table spoon in the USA,
tea spoon in GB and
coffee spoon in GER?
Bienenstich is one of my favorites, as well as many hazelnut Kranzes which are a birthday tradition in my family
Yeah that Coffe and Cake culture is pretty widespread. My mom meets regularly with relatives for Coffee and cake at around 3pm-ish.
Yep and most times on saturday too
This reminded me of the cake my aunt used to make. It was a layer cake of sponge, butter or margarine and jam. All of them very thin. She died over 25 years ago so I was still too young to appreciate it but for a few years now I wanted to recreate it because I loved it so much. I also keep forgetting to ask my cousins whether they have that recipe.. I need to remember to ask them! If they don't then I need to try making it from scratch. (So thank you for reminding me!)
In northern Germany, people tend to eat cake and tea. Especially on the North Sea coast and islands. Tea is more dominant than coffee.
The motto there is "cake under 300g is a cookie"
We have Plumkake from Augsburg. In Bavaria it's called Zwetschgendatschi. Or Datschi. So the people from Augsburg are called the Datschiburger 😂
Kaffee und Kuchen is like tea time in the UK
the cake fork is not really sharp, it’s just not that rounded at the edge, so you can part the cake a bit more conveniently
Americans would still only use their hands?
"Schwarzwälderkisch-Torte" is my favorite! I can eat a whole cake...
I guess our "gedeckter" Kuchen is nearly like a pie.
Very simular here in Belgium, no surprise since we border Germany.
I hope that it's not just in Berlin because that sounds good to me as a vegan who lives in Dortmund
Rayne, for Americans I would recommend the Frankfurter Kranz. This is probably the sweetest cake.
Black Forest gateau, eggnog, torte and sponge cake all contain alcohol. If you have children with you, you should ask beforehand.
I've never seen your kind of german cake in any bakery or store and I live in germany.
I couldn't even tell what this cake is
If you ever want the really good (and really filling and unhealthy) cakes, Thüringen is the state to go in my experience. They're excellent bakers but half of that is just because they're not afraid to throw a whole stick or brick of butter into a small cake. (And likely another on top.) It's a very delicious experience that one probably shouldn't repeat too often.
Regenbogen Buttercreme Torte is the best example.
You can honestly eat only a single slice, otherwise you get sick lol
The cake is basically made from what feels like 80% butter, 10% sugar and 10% food coloring.
Wenn's ungesund ist, doppelte Menge rein 😂
Bin aber gebürtige Hessin bzw lebe seit fast 30 Jahren in Bayern 😊
4:10 To your question about cakes and pies, I think "kuchen" could be better translated as pie than cake, also as described properties 5:10 would indicate that, and on the other hand cake is better translated as "torte", so they did not get the translation entirely right because they used cake everywhere. So Apfelkuchen - Apple Pie, but Marzipantorte - Marzipan Cake.
Except that German Apfelkuchen is nowhere near American apple pie ... The closest equivalent to U.S. apple pie would be "gedeckter Apfelkuchen", which isn't the same thing as regular Apfelkuchen where you got a kind of spongy base with apple slices on it. Kuchen, in Germany, can mean both, something more tarte-like (as in French tarte), with a "pie crust" base and fruit on it (like Erdbeerkuchen) but also that spongy type of cake (think Schokokuchen or Marmorkuchen or that kind of thing) that's nowhere near what's considered pie in the U.S. I'd rather say that "Torte" is a specific sub-category of "Kuchen". You can invite someone for "Kaffee und Kuchen" and still serve them a Torte as Kuchen. But you can't invite someone for "Kaffee und Torte" and then, serve them a plain Schokoladen- or Marmorkuchen.
I miss my Oma's Erdbeertorte. I have all her recipes but they're never the same when it's not baked or cooked by Oma.
She didn't really explain the distinction between Kuchen and Torte properly.
Kuchen means the whole thing is finished when it comes out of the oven and Torte is a cake that has to be assembled after baking. It might be a layered cake with cream fillings in between the cake layers or custard or fruit jelly or some other tasty stuff might get put on top of the baked cake.
No Bienenstich oder Apfelriemchen I feel insulted.
Now I need a Puddingplunder to calm down, curse you!
There was Bienenstich. But not even Donauwelle. What was the production doing here smh
Donauwelle,gedeckter Apfelkuchen,Maulwurfskuchen i bake every week
I work for Tchibo and Eduscho and i live in Bremen
Haha. Cafe Velicious is indeed in Berlin.
The Black Forest cake is the type of cake you're receiving at the end of the game Portal. No lie!
Your German cake looks very American🤣
I guess why she's using cake for both "Torte" and "Kuchen" is because she's from the UK. "Torte" would usually be "cake" and "Kuchen" would usually be "pie", but the british have a VERY different understanding of pies - being these hot pieces of pastry filled with meat and stuff.
that"s not correct. Most kuchen are not pie. Germany actually has very few pies.
@@stefan0325 it would be pie in american english, hence the confusion
@@HappyBeezerStudios like I said almost no Kuchen is a pie. Pie has a crust and a filling. Kuchen often have a bread-like airy texture or a too dry filling to be considered a pie. The closest German thing to a pie is a Strudel.
I would say calling an American pie a Kuchen might be OK, but calling a German Kuchen a pie is usually incorrect, as it doesn't match the definition of pie.
She is not from the UK, she is actually Austrian 😂
@@stefan0325 ever heard of 'gedeckter Apfelkuchen' ? That's definitely a pie. And Strudel is Austrian.
we have dr pepper zero here aswell
zwetschgendatschi is very delicious, also milirahmstrudel
...the difference between cake and pie is, that a pie is covered with dough...
Kaffee Tee ich glaube in der (nicht vorhandenen) Mittelschicht is das ziemlich ausgewogen 😅
Men like to gossip too, especially when having Frühschoppen.
There is the Heidelberghaus in Indianapolis, but you don't get a real German cake yourself, or Conny's Little German Breadshop in Peru / Indiana.
3:47 I have to say the american apple crumble is good, I am not sure what is better crumble or Apfelstrudel.
What makes den Apfelstreuselkuchen American?
@@vHindenburg Es ist ein bischen die Zusammensetzung. Der Amerikanische Crumble hat weniger Streusel aber dafür eine ordentliche Portion extra Zuker im Teig.
Ist schwer zu beschreiben aber teilweise sind im Teig kleine Stücke caramelisierter Zuker.
Auch ist der Crumble nicht so trocken wie unserer Streuselkuchen.
Bei Streuselkuchen vs. Crumble verlieren wir.
Bei Apfelstrudel vs. Crumble bin ich noch nicht zu einem abschließenden Urteil gekommen.😄
@@jancleve9635 Im Zweifel mit Buttercreme arbeiten.
4:18 We do not need pies our variations of "Torte" covering that area pretty good.
Dr. Pepper Cherry I already drank in the 1980s in Germany. when it became more and more popular Coca-Cola has brought out the cherry cola in Germany and made strong advertising for it. thereupon Dr. Pepper has fallen somewhat into oblivion because they have never advertised.
The reason why you won't find that (most infamous, I should add) German Chocolate Cake in our country (Germany) is that it is an American invention. The person behind it went by the family name German. That's the whole story. It has absolutely nothing to do with authentic German cakes and gateaus. Our cakes, pies, tarts and gateaus are - unless manufactured industrially in larger scales - all made from scratch with good, sometimes regional, ingredients. Milk, cream, butter, eggs, flour, sugar, fruit, but otherwise as little additives as possible will be used. We don't care much about artificial flavours and food colouring, and all that nonsense.
u just gotta taste some cake if ur going to germany although u have to find a good store
I dont do sodas Ryan. Try harder, BRING BACK THE RED VELVET COOKIES!!
2:05 Why is it "a random idea" having a cup of coffee with a pastry in the afternoon? It often sounds almost like you americans were all Amish or something. Never enjoying life?
Your "German" cake is an American cake invented by a guy surnamed German.
It has nothing to to with Germany.
The American German chocolate cake doesn't come from Germany, but is named after American baker Samuel German. ;)
Ich bin Deutsche und weiß nicht, was "deutsche Schokolade" sein soll.
@@eva3414 ??? lies den Satz richtig
I am so sad she didn’t mentioned Donauwelle… my grandma used to make them and they are so good
Me, as a Grandma, have to make them so often... My family loves them, too
Oh yeah, Donauwellen taste so very good!
Actually, I am making a Donauwelle for a potluck next week! Love this cake!!!❤❤❤
@@craigwestbrook8932 time and place, pkease!
Donauwelle, best cake ever ❤
The Dessert fork isnt sharp, its just thicker, so you dont deform it😅
In my country, it's often sharp, so it can cut through marzipan or thick "frosting" without deforming the whole pastry.
I have some sharp dessert forks at home, probably from my grandma. Nowadays, the dessert forks are just smaller forks. I don‘t even think they are thicker.
Cakes and tarts are often made by hand in Germany and do not come from industry. The range goes from sheet cakes topped with apples or plums. Also layer cakes or cream cakes. Marzipan, quark cake, chocolate, there are many variations. But also hearty variants such as tarte flambée through to pizza.
The many German regions and neighboring countries have produced a great diversity.
In the north of Germany, tea is preferred, while coffee is popular in the center and south.
This is probably due to the fact that in history the Turkish troops came just before Vienna.
In the north trade with England brought tea.
True... Handmade
North German Cities rather use coffee.
Meeehh. it really depends. These Days alot of Bakeries getting their Cakes frozen
@@Wildcard71Except for East Friesland.
@@MrVyse People rather make their own Cake, sometimes when you forget to bake or yoou are short on time, you do get to the Bakery to get some Cake, but this is rare.
I know this becouse I live there.
Yes, Kaffeeklatsch is absolutely what women in Germany do over their coffee and cake. It's part of the fun of meeting in the afternoon to have some time to relax and chat.
In addition, the Latte Machiato mothers have been around for years
I'm from Slovenia, we have the same ritual of coffee and cake every day! I bring some cake from the supermarket or bake something by miself and eat it in the afternoon with my mom and sister.
For my grandma it's a fixed appointement in her social calendar; men go the "Stammtisch" and women meet for "Kaffeeklatsch".
@@ninkazajc I just checked Slovenia's cakes,.. THEY ARE VEEEEEEEEERY NICE !!!!
@@aw3s0me12 jap, our pastry and cakes are delicious! Potica it's the most tipical, with a lot of different fillings, flavours! In our home, the most baked it's strudel, you know it right? 🤤 so simple but so yummy!
Have a nice day!😄
The sharp edge is sharp enough to cut cake, but not sharp enough to cut meat. It's perfectly safe.
People always want to have something for every shit they can buy. Eat cake with a normal fork that you already have? Much too simple! No you need an extra fork! Very important. If you can not buy something for absolutely everything then people do not care.
@@vomm The cake fork is quit smaller than a regular fork. Also the one edge is bigger, so backward in times the material (mostly silver) was softer and so the bigger egde wont bend while separating a piece from the cake. Also the bigger edge often has a little spike on top wich was made for picking up raisins (as seen on 4:43).
@ I did not say that there are no differences but that it is unnecessary. You can eat a cake with a spoon without problems. No one needs a special fork for cake.
@vomm you must be fun to be around while eating cake
@@vomm : You can also eat with your hands, on the table then you could say that cutlery and plates are "unnecessary" ... they are still useful. Same for the dessert fork as some crusts are hard to break with a normal fork, you might then need a knife or a dessert fork.
And it's not because you don't know any cake that might need a dessert fork or a fork and a knife that they don't exist. 😁
Little fact: American "German cake" is not German, but was invented in America by a guy called Samuel German.
Well that's something Samuel German should have considered earlier when he imprinted a truly American cake lol
She forgot the beloved German cheesecake
There was a cheescake in the video but not a traditional firm one but cheese cream cake ( that is cheaper).
German Cake is an american cake invented by a guy named Samuel German. It has nothing to do with Germany. :)
It's called german because there are germs in it
You get vegan cake and food nowadays almost everywhere, maybe not in small villages, but not only in Berlin and it’s not a niche thing anymore…
Auch schon auf dem Dorf, bei uns in der Südpfalz 😊
Her explanation of the difference between Torte (tart) and Kuchen (cake) is not quite correct. Torte: only the batter/dough is baked, everything else is put into/onto it after baking. Kuchen: everything is baked in the oven. So, there is a difference between an Obsttorte and an Obstkuchen. Obst is a generic term for fruit (apple, pear, peach, cherry...).
Coffee and Cake is essential in german house holds. You can have it at home, at cafes, at your friends house, mostly at sundays but other days of the week are fine too. Sometimes family or friends come to your house with a selfmade cake just for coffee, cake and a "Kaffeeklatsch". This visits are spontaneous sometimes but who would send someone away when he brought a cake!?
I also saw it a view times, but not often, if there is a party (like birthdays in my parent's generation) which started in the evening you just have a coffee and cake at midnight.
on newyear, at midnight we always had first some drink to toast, followed by Pfannkuchen (which some people call "Berliner") with a cup of coffee.
Kaffee und Kuchen was a big part of family gatherings for me. We met up at my uncle's and aunt's, or (during that time they were still able to) my grandma's or great-grandma's. We had coffee, but being from northern Germany most importantly black tea. We usually had simple sheet cakes but occasionally my aunt whipped out some chocolate or marzipan cake. The Kaffee und Kuchen events were also how I got to my great-grandma's apple cake recipe, and I got later honoured by being asked by her to make it for her 100th birthday, because I was the great-grandchild that "inherited it the best"
Europe is mostly Coffee, think of all the Italian coffee varieties (Espresso, Macchiato, Cappuccino,..) and how French love a cup of coffee with a croissant for breakfast or Spaniards with their Churros.
I think only England is predominantly tea.
Usually American cake is very similar to British cake; a bit more cake than filling, often biscuit dough and if there is filling, it’s buttercream.
German cake has more filling per dough and even if they use buttercream it’s lighter and therefore moister.
Also cheesecake is probably originally German but there is is done with Quark and has more protein and less fat than the American double cream cheese version.
Asia is the tea continent
Vegan cafe - „ooh she doesnt even use eggs“
Rly Ryan?
Well in the beginning of veganitism (?) most of the people were lacto-ovo-vegetarians and only very few 100% vegan.
German cake has nothing to do with Germany^^ It is named after Samuel German (1802-1888). It is funny that nobody knows that in the states^^
Honestly, "Kaffeeklatsch" is something everyone does during coffee break.
just too clarify the "German choclate cake" confusion: (source wikipedia) "German chocolate cake, originally German's chocolate cake, is a layered chocolate cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Originating in the United States, it owes its name to an English-American chocolate maker named Samuel German".
so, no german-guy and no germany involved.
German Chocolate Cake is named after Samuel German (an American) who invented the cake.
I like how Ryan on purpose always mentions german cake to raise the amount of comments saying it is from Samuel German not germany. ;-)
Was it the 4th or 5th time?
Tea is also a big thing in germany, but mostly in the north.
True, my North-Western German wife hates coffee but loves tea. As an Englishman in the UK, fresh strong ground coffee for me and never tea.
3:22 The Oreos got me.🤣
Yeah, put some of the most chemical tasting cookies in a cake and wonder why it tasts like oreo.
I have to agree. I have no idea what the Oreo hype is about, they have no real taste.
Lots of people also drink tea. In the department I work in (with around 25 people), about 1/3 of them drink coffee every day, some of them 2-3x per day, the others don't drink coffee at all and half of them drink tea regularly, but not multiple times per day. So usually people who drink coffee drink more coffee than the amount of tea people drink if they drink tea; and I think outside, in cafés or to go, more people drink coffee
Du you live in England or something?
Where I live here in the States, there are a number of German bakeries where we can get various Kuchen and Torten. My favorite is actually Austrian, and it's called Papa Haydn's. I spend a lot of time in Germany, and no, they really don't have 'pies' as we know them, although a few Germans I know are very familiar with them, and sometimes bake them at home. But usually it's Kuchen. BTW, your video about 5 difficult German words to pronounce was hysterical. LOL! Try this one: Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften (Rechts-legal; schutz-protection; versicherung-insurance; gesellschaften-companies, so insurance companies that also provide legal protection services.)
German chocolate cake is not German. We do not have this!
An important ingredience of the Black Forest gateau is Black Forest kirsch, a cherry brandy - but the cherries also within the gateau would rather be from the Kaiserstuhl (Emperor's chair) region at the western foots of the Black Forest.
The German chocolate cake is not from Germany, but was created by a guy called Samuel German.
And oh 'fruits on it' with cherries either drank with alc or sugar are not really 'fruits' anymore.
the "sharp"edge on the small fork is just sharp enough to cut cake with, you wont cut your mouth on it
As you correctly guessed in the video, pies are not so common in Germany, instead the filling is typically rather spread on top of a cake (and sometimes sealed by another layer of dough). I'd say pies are rather considered a French thing with them being called tarte here 😅
5:01 Luckily the „sharp“ edge isn’t exactly sharp like a knife. It‘s more like the cutting edge technology of a fish knife. Narrow enough to get you through your object of desire but wide enough so you don‘t cut yourself. 🙂
I always loved the tea/coffee and cake afternoons at my grandma`s. It was always so nice when we all sat together , drank teaor coffee , ate grandma`s homemade cake and talked to each other a lot in a relaxed atmosphere had. It just tastes best at grandma`s💕🫖🥧
My ignorance radar going over 9000 everytime an American goes on about German Chocolate Cake... 😫
You can have Kaffe und Kuchen with tea as well. It's more of a phrase nowadays to come together, chat and enjoy a sweet snack with a drink :)
And no, there aren't really pies like you have in the US over here. The closest things to this may be "gedeckter Apfelkuchen", apple pie with a dough cover (the translator just called it apple pie), or french tartes.
Although all 3 tastes similar but different.
Gedeckter Apfelkuchen empasizes taste if apples ( bigger cut parts),
tarte des pommes emphasizes taste of dough ( more fluffy),
Apple pie emphasizes sugar.
@RyanWass you have to visit Germany and France.
I still live at home with my parents and my brother and we have coffee time every day between 4:30 and 6 pm ☺️ sometimes we eat dinner first and then a coffee with a sweet treat like biscuits afterwards.. on the weekend a bake a cake from scratch that we eat between (late) breakfast and dinner 😍
1:25 Why do you think europeans don't drink coffee? Europe is not England... It's Italy, France, Spain, Austria, Germany, Sweden, etc. all pretty big coffee consumers (although you put more water in it in the USA).
"German Cake" is still NAMED AFTER A BAKER MR. GERMAN, he couldve also had the name MR HERMAN, it is JUST A NAME, and he was american.
over a year people yell the same thing at him, and still it didnt reach him >_
Vegan hopping on here to clarify: just vegan doesn’t mean healthy guys. Vegan butter or normal butter, vegan cream or normal cream, sugar is the same … weird statement 😅
Yes. I still use the same amount of oil and sugar and carbs and all of the stuff which is labelled as „unhealthy“ as I did before going vegan.
Oh and I also prefer calling them plant based rather than vegan. Because plant based is just naming the ingredients as they are and vegan is a lifestyle.
Dear Ryan. Do you actually ever read any of the comments? Because then you'd know, that German Chocolate Cake is not German at all, as already mentioned below and in previous vids on German food culture.
You need to se danish cakes, the most danish is a lagkage 🎂, a cake in layers with cream in betwern the layers, and fruit as well. There has to be whiiped cream on the top and sides. It's for birthdays.
The cherry on top makes the cake a healthy food. 😁
I had to laugh, too. 'Kandierte Kirschen' are more sugar than fruit.
Happy 4th of July, Ryan and family. German cakes are very good, but they are not as sweet as they would be in the U.S. There is a difference.
well, in my opinion, the coffee and cake tradition is more Austrian... because there is usually an extra break at work for coffee and cake, or if you are a craftsman and are currently working for a customer, it is considered good manners for the customer to artisan offering coffee and cake
I really enjoyed your videos and comments and learning more about the world around me. Hope to try many of these types of food
Germany is definitely a coffee and cigarette country. And beer, never forget the beer. But many of us also drink tea, many even both.
5:52 I'm German, but a large part of my family emigrated to the US in the 20th century and one guy actually made a living by opening a German cake bakery over there, heh
Apart from the fact that Germany is really a beer country (but there are also wine-growing regions where wine is preferred), Germany is primarily a coffee country. Only in East Frisia, in the north of Germany, is tea mainly drunk. The East Frisians have the highest tea consumption per capita in the world. There is even a special tea ceremony there, as otherwise only in England, Japan, China, Nepal and Morocco.
🤣😂🤣Until he mentions it, I totally forgot about indipendence day.
For us it is just one good and one bad movie.
I love to bake. My favorite project is to make traditional cakes and Tartes into small portions like Muffins. Last time I made Donauwelle in Muffin size. One day I will make a Black Forest muffin (cupcake)
Where is the recepy?!
it never occured to me until now that having coffee and cake in the afternoon might not be a thing in other countries! It's pretty much the definition of normality in germany
We have Dr Pepper in most of Europe in regular stores. Austria here. I love the stuff, its my favorite soda.
We also have American snack stores (in Vienna there are ca 10) that sell all kinds of American candies, sodas, snacks etc.
They're popular in Germany too.
... and you have "Sacher" and "Dehmel" ;-)
I never saw one ...
If you want to try these things, there are tons of German recipes in English online that you can just try yourself ^^
my favorite is rhubarb crumble cake
The Frisians, especially the East Frisians, are record holding tea drinkers, while the rest of Germany prefers coffee since about 200 years.
Dr. Pepper Zero sounds like a reason to stay away from America 😅 We do have it here though, a very small amount of them at very big supermarkets, because nobody really buys it. But here's a reason to come to Germany: Fassbrause.
Fun fact: The German state collect more coffee tax than beer Tax. Without the northwest area called Ostfriesland, we are mostly coffee drinker.
Yepp but the Friesians alone outdrink the Brits on tea😂
You should search a cake from Germany called Baumkuchen (Tree Cake)
Known as the King of Cakes
I bake it nearly every special occasion
I think it is too dry. Ryan would not like it.
I tried 3 times in 3 centuries and was disappointed each time.
@@MiaMerkur Guess it depends on where you get it (The commercial Baumkuchen is horrible and dry) but some of the homemade ones are much more moist and fresh tasting
In the past, cutlery was made of silver (silverware) and when cutting harder cakes (e.g. crumble) the thin prongs would bend, so one prong was reinforced. However, this prong is not sharpened.
Drinking sparkling water here like a proper German! Cheers 😊
nothing beats fresh-ice cold sparkling water for me in the summer.....a big gulp and you have tears in your eyes...
Hey Ryan!!! Greetings from GERMANY!!! Yes, i've been here on holiday for three ways and YES the desserts are SO DELICIOUS!!!! Best thing about this country!
Vegan cake is the German answer to Pizza with broccoli. ;) Cake dough needs eggs. Nowadays that is for example 6 eggs in a marble cake baked from 280g flour. In our grandparents' times, no cake was made with less than 15 eggs. I think I will try that. :)
