  1. Easy to make, and Charlotte J's instructions were so easy to follow for an occasional baker like me. I used butter, and made this in order to make Charlotte J’s Apfel Kuchen Recipe #40270. SO worth the effort: scrumptious! And I'm sure it would have passed my German grandmother's taste test! Thank you, Charlotte J!
     
  2. This is so neat. I love that I can make two different cakes with only one recipe! I used the butter topping and it is GREAT! It ends up like a bit of cake on soft bread. Such a neat combination! I did up the other cake with my "usual" streusel topping. It worked quite well. I am looking forward to trying the coconut topping next! This has Family Reunion written all over it! Thank you so much for this recipe!
     
  3. OK I gave five stars before making because I am super excited if this is going to turn out like my Omie (grandmom in German) recipe which she called Zukker Kuchen. Long story short and trolling the web for hours I found out it is actually called butter Kuchen to North Germans. That said I am confused on this website because I can't get to the recipes with numbers on them and it says put half the dough on the pan??? So I am going to do this with the pan and do the rest of the "Zuker Kuchen" like I remember my Omie doing it which was patting with butter chunks and dimpling the dough, covering it with sugar and or sugar and almonds then baking. I am psyched as through hundreds of "german kuchen" recipes ive trolled most are a sticky poured dough, and Omie's 'zuker kuchen" was a cross between a bread and a sweet dough but it was rolled. Oh and another thing is she put zested lemon rind in the dough which is INSANE. Thank you Charlotte. I don't have milk or IDA already baked this.
     
  4. I made this last night and it was very easy to put together. I found that even at 25 mins of cook time it overcooked a bit. I re-check my oven thermometer and it was correct for temp. This is a nice not overly sweet dough and I will be making again!! Thanks for posting!!!
