F like Frankfurt Crown Cake

The Frankfurt Crown Cake is another true cake classic from Germany. Its ring shape is supposed to remind of the crown of the German emperor. The recipe itself is not even that fancy and the preparation is anything but complicated. All you need is a cake pan with a ring insert or a Gugelhupf pan. And then you can get started.

With this video I also continue my series »The little cake ABC«. In this series I present in alphabetical order the most popular, best known and best cake recipes.

Another special feature is that I will bake only small or half versions. However, I usually time the recipe amount so that by doubling it, you get the amount for a standard pan.

FRANKFURT CROWN CAKE - RECIPE:

Sponge mixture:
------------------------
4 eggs
½ cup (100 g) sugar
¾ cup (100 g) cake flour
Lemon peal

Buttercream:

2 cup (450 g) custard
1 cup (250 g) butter
2 tbsp (40 g) sugar

Refinement & Decoration:
------------------------------
1/3 cup (100 g jam) (e.g. raspberry jam)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup (100 g) brittle
Raspberries (or other little fruits)

Springform pan Ø 7 inch / 18 cm with ring insert (Bottom greased and floured)

Tips for preparation:
-----------------------------
For a normal Gugelhupf mold simply double the recipe amount, baking time remains about the same
Beat eggs really nice and foamy (5 minutes)
Custard and butter should have a similar temperature when mixed together

Leave to infuse in the refrigerator for a day before enjoying.
