Bee Sting Cake (Bienenstich) I
First things first, let’s feast your eyes on this scrumptious morsel:
Now that we’ve got your attention, let’s get down to business. Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this bee-utiful cake!
Ingredients:
- For the Cake:
- 1 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- For the Filling:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Topping:
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
Instructions:
- Warm the milk and butter in a saucepan until the butter melts. Allow it to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm milk mixture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add in the flour, salt, and eggs. Mix it until a dough forms, then knead it for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
- While your dough is partying, let’s make the topping! In a saucepan, combine honey, corn syrup, and almond slices. Cook until it’s bubbly and golden. Set aside to cool.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and spread it into a greased baking dish. Spread the almond mixture over the top, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes.
- Once baked, let it cool completely. While it’s cooling, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Slice the cake horizontally. Spread the whipped cream between the layers and put it back together.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy the sweet taste of victory!
And there you have it! One spectacular Bee Sting Cake that’ll send your taste buds dancing. Remember to share a slice with your friends (or keep it all for yourself, no judgment here). Happy baking!
