Sometimes I wonder how it could happen that I forget for more than four years to blog about a favourite cake recipe, like it happen for the \u201cGoldkn\u00f6del\u201d recipe. And it is not only my favourite recipe, it is a family favourite.\u00a0 A cake, that someone in my extended family will bring for each party. And everyone wants to have his\/her share of this cake. A simple but well loved cake.<\/p>\n
It is originated in the Transylvanian branch of the family, like the Greta-Gabor-Schnitten<\/a>. To my suprise I found the recipe although in cookbook Kaffeehaus<\/a>, which shows me once again how strong the influence of the Hungarian, Romanian and Austrian kitchen was on the kitchen of my ancestors.<\/p>\n When I talked to my parents about what cake I should bring to our sunday \u201cKaffeetrinken\u201d (the german kind of tea time), my dad suggest something simple. And my mum then had the idea: \u201cWhat\u2019s about Goldkn\u00f6del?\u201d<\/p>\n And so I baked the family recipe. It is a slightly sweet yeast dough, which is divided into small pieces and each of this pieces is then turned into molten butter and afterwars in a mixture of grounded nuts and sugar. I followed the recipe nearly completly, I only reduced the amount of yeast. And the cake turned out to be as perfect as it should be. A fluffy crumb, with the taste of caramel and nuts \u2013 just as it should be. A simple cake but never boring!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dough<\/p>\n For Coating<\/p>\n Dissolve the yeast in milk, then knead in the kitchen machine with flour, eggs and salt, for 5 min at slow speed.<\/p>\n The knead 7 min at middle speed. Because the sugar inhibits the gluten development, the sugar is added just now. Add always a tablespoon at once and knead in between always for 1 min. At last add the butter all at onc and knead untill the butter is completly incooperated.<\/p>\n Ferment for one hour.<\/p>\n Mix grounded nuts with sugar and grease the kugelhopf pan. Then divide the dough into pieces of 40g and form them to small balls. Turn them first in the molten butter, then in the nut and sugar mixture. Lay them in the kugelhopf pan.<\/p>\n Proof for 1.5 hours.<\/p>\n Bake at 175\u00b0C for one hour with steam.<\/p>\nGoldkn\u00f6del<\/u><\/h1>\n
