Kaiser Cake

[Niobe Hennigan]

Itwas so sweet: the toothy grins; the miniature cake that fit onto the highchair tray; the inevitable tears a few hours later, after the guest of honor was overwhelmed by presents; rowdy cousins and the lack of his normally scheduled nap.

This traditional German Pancake dish that originated in Austria during the time of Emporer Franz Joseph I is mainly served for dessert in Bavaria and Austria but it can also be eaten for brunch or lunch because it is quite filling. It is traditionally accompanied by Applesauce (Apfelmuss) and Zwetschgenrster, a fruit compote made from plums.

Hi, I'm Julia! Born in Germany, I call Canada now my home and love to share my favorite dishes with you! Here you'll find hundreds of recipes, all made from scratch, with lots of tips and detailed step-by-step instructions.

I usually rarely comment on recipes but this recipe is incredibly authentic!!! I have been living abroad in Asia for quite some time now and was looking for an authentic Kaiserschmarrn recipe for my husband, since we were craving it.

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe with us !

Greeting from China

Your recipe is the best I found online for Kaiserschmarrn. The addition of soaked raisins and sugar to caramelize at the end are really giving the dish an exquisite touch.

The explanations are super clear, thank you very much!

The origins of this delicious cake are not exactly clear. We know for sure that Kaiser Franz Joseph popularized it in Austria and Marie Antoinette in France. Looking at the language used in the name, we can place it in the 17th century.

In Vienna, we have a very similar word called Gurgle. But the meaning is very different. Gurgel means throat. So as kids it was a common joke that the cake is so good, it jumps into your throat thus Gugelhupf. But that was just a joke ?

This recipe is not unique to Germany or Austria. Many central European countries have their own variation of Gugelhupf. In France it is known as Kouglof or Alsatian Brioche. In Hungary, it is known as Kuglof and is often filled with sweet poppy or nut pockets.

This recipe is really beyond easy. Start by preparing your ingredients. Separate your egg yolks and egg whites. Now using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter with the egg yolks. When they are light and fluffy, whisk in the lemon zest, vanilla extract and Milk. Combine the flour with the baking powder before whisking it in to the butter blend.

Wonder why we combine dry ingredients before we blend them? Mixing flour generates gluten. Gluten is like a flexible net that makes dough elastic and tough. For a fluffy texture we try to mix as little as possible.

Next we will prepare the egg whites. By whisking them in to stiff peaks we introduce even more bubbles in to the batter. Set the butter mix batter aside and clean your mixing bowl well. Egg whites whisk best in clean bowl with no grease or fat residue. You can also add a little bit of salt which will help the egg whites to foam even better.

In an exquisite wooden box, our Kaiser Franz Joseph cake is an excellent reminder and a perfect souvenir of a very pleasant stay in Vienna. The cake can be also shipped to a definite address.

A lot of Viennese food likes to find an association with the grander aspects of Austrian history. Particularly, for some reason, the desserts. And so it is with Kaiserschmarrn (often spelled Kaiserschmarren).

The farmer attempted to create a luxurious pancake for his guest but made a mess of it in his nervousness. So he applied a little Alpine cunning to save the day, shredding the remains of the would-be pancake, slapping some plum jam over it, and presenting it as the finished article.

Whatever the truth of the matter, culinary historians largely agree that Kaiserschmarren does date back to at least the days of Franz Joseph (and much earlier in heartier versions for rural workers), even if the Kaiser part of the name probably stems from some other meaning.

Everywhere! Many cakes are standard tiered cakes with decorations that match a theme, but sometimes I carve the cake or chocolate into the shape of anything. I love incorporating techniques from other mediums, from pottery, jewelry, watercolor, architecture, or nature into my cakes.

I also love love love gravity defying 3D cakes that look like something other than cake. You may have seen these on TV sometimes, when a cake looks like a turtle or a dinosaur, for example. I find the structure and decorating not only interesting, but I know whomever sees the cake will remember it. These are not your average desserts!

Probably my Floating Sphere cake. It had three spheres of cake that were enrobed in marbled fondant and had sugar flowers twisting around them. It was really tall (over 4 feet) and was a real showstopper.

I use simple Cetaphil face soap and make a paste with baking soda for a scrub. My friend who is a makeup artist and aesthetician helped me choose some moisturizers, since I was using the wrong stuff without realizing it. And sunscreen.

La Kaiser is a line of jewelry made up of simplistic pieces with a touch of contemporary and a pop of color. We primarily use opals, rainbow moonstones, diamonds, rose quartz and turquoise throughout our collections.

Here are some of the sweetest and most charming cake oil paintings I have ever seen. I must order a couple of these. I wanted to paint some cakes for the kitchen but I would far prefer to order these. The only hard part will be to choose which ones.

When it comes to planning a birthday party, it can be easy to get carried away with gifts and glamour. However, when it really comes down to it, all your friends want is a nice slice of cake and a free evening away from work. However, that opportunity won't be as enjoyable if you don't take the time to choose a great birthday cake. On this blog, I want to talk with you about different types of cake, icings, and fillings, so that you can make a choice you will be happy with later. Cakes can be complicated, but they don't have to be frustrating. Read this blog to learn more!

If you love buying kaiser rolls at your local bakery, then you will probably also enjoy making your own kaiser rolls at home. One of the best things about making your own kaiser rolls is that you can customize them. For instance, this cheddar and onion kaiser bun recipe is loaded with flavorful cheese and tasty onions for a unique spin on the old classic. Here's how to make them.

Start by combining the yeast, sugar, and warm water in a mixing bowl. Let rest for 5 minutes. The yeast should get bubbly and frothy. Then, add 2 cups of flour, the salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stir to form a loose dough. Gradually add in the remaining flour until a stiff dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter, and knead for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into 8 even portions. Shape each portion into a roll by folding the dough under itself. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover them lightly with plastic wrap, and let them rise for 30 minutes.

Brush the rolls lightly with the egg white. Place them in a 375 degree F oven, and bake them for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, and then remove them and place them on wire racks until cooled completely.

Austrian Tyrol is an amazing place to spend a family vacation in the mountains! But with so many beautiful places, a choice is always tough where to go. In this article, you can read all about visiting Kaiserklamm (Kaiser Gorge) and Kaiserhaus in Aschau.

Kaiserklamm Gorge is located near Brandenberg in the beautiful Alpbachtal Seenland region in Tyrol. Brandenberg has all of the ingredients for a perfect family-friendly day trip in Tyrol: beautiful nature, an easy hike along the Kaiser Gorge (Kaiserklamm), Prgeltorte cake baking demonstration, and a fantastic playground for kids with a small petting zoo.

Gasthof Kaiserhaus is a guesthouse/ restaurant in a beautiful setting in Brandenberg. There are several beautiful walks you can do in the area. So depending on how much time you have, you may turn this short itinerary into a full-day trip as well. We spent an afternoon in this area, and I hope to return and explore more one day.

The road to Gasthof Kaiserhaus takes you through one of the most scenic landscapes one could imagine. The green rolling hills make you think of Tuscany, and the snowcapped mountains in the background make it even more spectacular. Simply stunning!

Prgeltorte looks very impressive and is therefore often given as a present on important occasions in Austria. Just like in Lithuania, actually, where Bankuchenas is a popular cake for a wedding reception or a big birthday celebration.

After the short but incredibly beautiful walk to the Kaiser Gorge, we felt like we definitely deserved a small reward. So we headed back to the sunny terrace of Gasthof Kaiserhaus for some of that freshly baked Prgeltorte.

I have to say that it tastes divine. I was surprised to see that the Austrians serve Prgeltorte with whipped cream and cranberry sauce. In Lithuania, we would just cut a piece off and eat it on its own.
