Cooking method

• Baumkuchen is the unofficial "king of cupcakes" - "tree-cake" - a special type of baked goods prepared in Germany. The cut of this pie resembles a cut from a tree with annual rings. German confectioners achieve this effect thanks to a special baking technology: a rotating wooden roller is repeatedly covered with a thin layer of batter, which is brown each time over a special burner.
• 
• Today, this unofficial "king of cupcakes" has become a traditional decoration of the German Christmas table.
• This cupcake is also served on the wedding table.
• So let's get started:
• Cooking the dough
• Separate the whites from the yolks.
• Beat the whites into a foam and begin to add half of the sugar gradually and continue to beat until firm peaks
• 
• Beat the melted butter with the remaining half of the sugar into a homogeneous mass.
• We begin by introducing one yolk and stir each one. And so all 8 yolks.
• Add rum, vanilla sugar, flour, starch, vanilla sugar, zest, chopped almonds and knead the dough.
• The dough turns out to be thick.
• 
• Gently add the protein mass and mix. The dough became thinner, which is what we need.
• 
• Preheat the oven to 200 gr or with convection to 180 gr.
• Line the baking dish with baking paper.
• Take three tablespoons of dough and distribute evenly over the bottom of the mold.
• 
• We put in the oven on the upper level and bake until it is shorter, it is possible until golden brown
• 
• We take out and lay out the next layer and so on until the form is filled.
• When the cake is ready, let it sit for 15 minutes.
• 
• We take out and coat with apricot jam. We put in the refrigerator to freeze the jam
• 
• At this time, we prepare the glaze:
• Melt a bar of chocolate and butter in a water bath or in a multicooker for 90 gr.
• When the jam is frozen, pour the chocolate icing over the cake evenly on all sides.
• 
• We put it in the refrigerator.
• When the cake has cooled and the frosting has frozen, cut into slices and serve with coffee.
• 
• Here you can see that the cake is layered.

[Mashenka]

What a beauty ... And it must be very, very tasty!
Mashenka, and how long does the whole process take?
Thanks for the recipe!

Marish, wow! That is, it turns out that the very first layer is baked many times longer than the top one? How do they then get the same color

[gala10]

gala10Gal in time turns out, well, about 1.30. It also depends on the number of layers.
Well, actually, not very long, but it's worth baking !! It is something!!
Kara, Irin, the first one is longer, because it is at the bottom of the frame, and all the remaining layers are higher and closer to the oven shade.

[CONNECTOR]

Masha, in the video about the original way of baking this German yummy, you can see that the baking of each subsequent layer is as if from above, and here I am - if the first layer in our, not spithole, case is baked in the oven, and the next layers are thin - the oven is already in the AG - that is, to bring the heating closer to the original. I have not tried baking such a cupcake yet, but email. I don't have an oven, the gas is low-power, but there is a grill = so I ask CONNECTOR

[Irsha]

Irsha, Irin, AG will definitely go.Moreover, right from the first layer, you can bake in the AG.
I, too, will try to bake the next time under the AG lid, only it will be round)
I want to make it with a hole, as if it was baked on a spit.

fascinates ... I do not know how to insert videos

I want to do it with a hole

[Irsha]

Irsha, somewhere on the forum there is a cake with a similar cooking technology. Even then, they came to the conclusion that the best oven is in an airfryer.
Masha, bookmark the king of cupcakes recipe!

fascinates ... I do not know how to insert videos

Here)
Ipatiya, Thank you))

there is a cake on the forum

oo !! look for

[Irsha]

Irsha, here he is - Baumkuchentorte.

I have a slightly different rep with almonds and zest and jam.
It turns out they taste different)

Yes, I also looked, the composition is different. I like almonds much more. We need to gather ourselves into a pile and prepare such a cupcake. And then I still suffer from Shtebochka.

[Masha]

Mashaare certainly different. It's just that there was one recipe with a similar pastry on the forum, and now it's already 2. And that's great!

[Galina]

Galina, well, let's get ready, Th is completely limp)
You will have Shteba!
By the way, it is not difficult to bake it, you just need to collect your thoughts))
Ipatiya,

[Masinen]

Masinen, Tell me, please, what is "almond sugar"? And if it can be replaced, then what?

[Sofia Sergeevna]

Sofia Sergeevna, sorry, this is vanilla sugar)
Fixed))

What beauties, I also love this cupcake very much, only I make a cake out of it, mine really likes it.

[Mash,]

Mash,well, gorgeous. The trouble is true! Well done. Thanks for showing me.

[bukabuza]

bukabuza, ang-kay,
Lena, Angela, thank you girls!
There is a lot of trouble, but delicious!
My homemade check out

[Masinen]

Masinen, really another option, only the annual rings are light and thick on the site Your third recipe, I kept thinking that if I invent it like an original tree-cake in a cut, I will give it all, until I came up with it)))) just with a hole - the direction does the other will be. In general, the main thing is that it is tasty

[NataliARH]

NataliARH, I looked a lot of photos of this cupcake on the Internet, and not everywhere the dark crust goes. There are different options. With light too)
And the thickness of the layers can be adjusted))
Thanks for the comment!

on the site your third recipe

My carelessness. But the main thing is that there are pastry recipes for which the airfryer is indispensable. And then he is like a poor relative.

I cooked in my new Bork w550 oven.
The result is great!
I wanted to cook a rectangular shape)
If I had a spit at home, I would cook like the Germans do
In general, I am so glad that my work attracted so much attention, which means I wasted my time)

Delicious cake, Masha! I baked in a small electric oven, it turned out great, and then I forgot the recipe, there are too many chic recipes on our website. And now, reading the recipe and the girls' desire to repeat the real type of cake, there was an idea, no, not even two, how to cook this log with a hole inside the cake.
I will try to cook (in a couple of weeks) and share what happened.
Thank you for the interesting video and the recipe for the log cake itself.

[lu_estrada]

lu_estrada, Lyudmila, thank you!

Yummy Not soon, of course, I will decide on this feat, but I will. While I will keep an eye on Temka)

Mashun, and if you cheat a little: Make it a large thin layer on a baking sheet, and then roll it up (you can even leave a hole in the middle for greater similarity). A?

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, Ol, then the layers will need to be missed so that they do not disintegrate when cutting.
I think then it will not turn out Baumküchen, but just a delicious roll)
Although, you can try.
Yes, it will be difficult to twist, maybe a hard cake will turn out.

I once did something similar like this: I baked it thinly, quickly spread it on top with a thin layer of the same dough (almost slicker) and quickly rolled it hot, and then baked it for another 15 minutes.
Then my dough was like a gingerbread.
In extreme cases, you can not roll, but also in layers (stack) using the same technology.
Soooo, I already want to try!

Well, let's try it !!
I wonder what happens)

(y) What a beauty !!! You must bake it.

[Kurabye]

Kurabye, Thank you !
Try it, it's delicious !!

Thanks for the recipe, cool! It's a pity that I just took a large form, looked at the number of eggs and thought that it would not fit into a small one. Feel free to do it in a small mold, there will be more layers (I only got 9). I apologize for the quality of the photo taken from the phone.

[Tanuhka]

Tanuhka, Tatiana, great pie turned out !!
You have more layers, but I got 6, and they also went up))

I did not rise, because I mixed the dough with proteins with a mixer, I hammered the dough.

baumkuchen - a log with a hole, at home

Masha, what an interesting cupcake, and we have his recipe on the forum!
I have long wanted to try it, I came across this video on YouTube. I looked and was very interested. Then I lost this video, of course I didn't rewrite the recipe for myself. And here today in the tape I saw your recipe and remembered. I barely found this video again.
Let it stay in your Temko. You do not mind? Maybe someone will be interested in this cooking method

It's a pity I don't have almond flour, otherwise I would have tried such a cake right now.

[Irsha]

Irsha, nila, girls, to be honest, it came out not perfect for me, but the recipe is correct)
And I cooked it for a long time, I even forgot when it was
