Maybe you already know my Apfelschlangerl – An Austrian Apple Cake, a time-honoured family recipe that is baked several times a year.

Read moreI don’t know the proper translation for Donauwelle. Danube waves? No!!
It’s a light and dark cake batter, with cherries, baked on a baking tray and normally topped with a vanilla butter cream and a chocolate glaze, with a wave pattern in it. This recipe is not made with butter cream, but with curd cream, a little bit of butter, and whipped cream. This makes the whole thing a little lighter!
Donauwelle is widely popular and well-known.
