The term refers to a sheet cake that consists of only one layer – a sheet of dough that creates very interesting “bumps” during baking. Sometimes the cake is a little softer, sometimes it is firm and crunchy, almost like a biscuit. In addition to eggs, sugar, fat and flour, there is also a strong shot of schnapps – and when it is ready, the cake is buttered and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Here comes the recipe.
You need: 500 grams of flour, 6 eggs, 1 cup of rum, 100 grams of margarine, 100 grams of sugar, a pinch of salt, a little butter for brushing and powdered sugar for dusting.
