The tradition of Baumkuchen
Baumkuchen – a classic that is an integral part of German culture. The first recorded Baumkuchen recipes date back to the 15th century, when Baumkuchen was especially popular in Nuremberg and Frankfurt as a wedding bake. Over time, however, the Baumkuchen recipe continued to develop until master confectioner Johann Andreas Schernikow spread the “classic” recipe for Salzwedel Baumkuchen in 1807, which is still known today.
The term “Baumkuchen” goes back to the way Baumkuchen cakes were once made, as they were often baked on wooden skewers, sticks or wooden batons.
The structure of this special pastry is just as fitting. The Baumkuchen batter is applied in many layers, each of which is baked individually in turn. This creates the characteristic annual-ring appearance of the Baumkuchen cake.
The most delicious Baumkuchen of the highest quality is available from Rausch Berlin. Our Rausch Baumkuchen is characterised above all by first-class craftsmanship and a unique production technique.
Where does original Baumkuchen come from?
The pastry “Baumkuchen” has been baked for over 200 years and served on special occasions or at celebrations. In 1807, master confectioner Johann Andreas Schernikow brought a delicious recipe from Lüneburg to his home town of Salzwedel.
Where does the name Baumkuchen come from?
The predecessors of today’s Baumkuchen were often baked on wooden skewers, sticks or wooden batons. It is said that the name Baumkuchen, meaning cake baked on wooden sticks, comes from this.
What does Baumkuchen have to do with a tree?
The batter is applied in around 10 to 20 individual layers, usually by dipping, and baked layer by layer. As a result, the layers in the finished cake resemble the annual rings of a tree.
How long does Baumkuchen keep?
When buying Baumkuchen, always check the best-before date shown on the packaging. From the date of production, the product stays fresh and can be enjoyed in perfect condition for up to 4 weeks.
