Having lived in Germany for 10 years I can say it is among the best bakery "kuchen" recipes. It makes a nice quick breakfast, "tea time" cake or just a snack. It was quick and easy to make.

I made this for "German Beer Garden" Dinner Party and everyone loved it. It was wonderful. I tried several other recipes but this was the BEST!
