Thankfully the menu had a great color shot of the dish, as I forgot to take a picture of mine before we polished it off!
Another thing on this weekend's menu was Bienenstichkuchen (bee sting cake). We had cake and coffee over at my mother-in-law's house on Sunday. This is quite possibly my favorite German cake. Simple, not-too-sweet layers of cake sandwiching a frothy white layer of whipped cream, topped with crunchy, honey glazed, toasted almonds. Perfect!

Juliette, I wish we would have this at our Thanksgiving tomorrow.
Does the bee sting cake crunch a bit when you bite it? Texture is a bit part of my dessert experience and how much I love something;-)
CC - That top layer of almonds crunches, but it's not a hard crunch. It's like the amount of crunch you get tapping through creme brulee. (just right, IMO!)
One downside to this cake is that it's really hard to not make a mess eating it. The top layer always wants to slide off the cream and bottom layers when you go through with your fork! It might be easier if the cake was less heavy and more of a light sponge cake layer.
Are those finger marks around the bowl of where the ice cream used to be? :) I would kill for a scoop of Coconuss and Banana Eis.
Drooling over here - those treats look delicious! Enjoying your Corner View today.
Looks delicious
