Bee Sting Cake Recipe - Bienenstich
"This bee sting cake recipe or bienenstich is popular in German-speaking countries and Hungarians have borrowed it from their neighbors. The cake can be made with or without yeast and filled with pastry cream or whipped cream or a combination of the two as it is here. What is common among the varieties is the honey-butter-almond topping, which creates a crispy, crackly top. If you like honey, this is the cake for you -- it's in the batter, the topping and filling. Here's a larger picture of bee sting cake and a little history of the bee sting cake. Makes 10 to 12 servings of Bee Sting Cake - Bienenstich..."
