hi,

i am searching for a German hazelnut cake recipe called "Nusskuchen".
This cake has many variations but always has HZELNUTS in it. All the
recipes i found online so far are in GERMAN and i don't understand a
word!

Anyone has a great recipe? thanks for any suggestions.

Using Babel-fish for the transliteration, though some of the nouns I
remember from my H.S. Deutch (German) class some 20 years ago and I have
also been studying in my spare time. Also helpful since I can't find my
German study book (id es it's burried somewhere) was this site:

. Vanillezucker is vanilla sugar. made by sinking a cut vanilla pod into a
jar of sugar. When the flavour and scent from the pod is infused into the
sugar you use the sugar in cooking ie custards etc.

I knew that Vanillezucher translated to Vanilla sugar, but I don't recall
ever hearing of such a thing, which is why I wrote vanilla extract.

Thanks for the info.

You can also buy Dr. Oetker brand vanilla sugar from www.germandeli.com.
More and more grocery stores seem to carry it in the US.

Thanks for all the suggestions and troubles you guys had gone through
to help me.

I have gotten two recipes that I would like to try out very soon.
Both are with coffee and hazelnuts. The difference is that one has an
apple filling. (I found the apple filling version rather odd,
though...) Will post the result soon after I test them. (I forgot to
metion in the origial post that the one I tasted b4 had real coffee in
it.)
