This German cake has many names, the most famous probably being “heavenly cake”. I can confirm that it does taste heavenly, think a batter created with egg yolks, a layer of meringue, which is sprinkled with sliced almonds and a whipped cream infused with raspberries sandwiched in between. Then you get this cake. It seems to be more known in the north of Germany, at least I had forgotten about its existence until I returned to the city Paderborn and tasted the cake again in the coffeshop Café Markt 5 (I was not paid to mention it). When I looked at the options in the cafe, this cake immediately caught my eye, of all other cakes there was only one at display, but this cake had six (!) cakes at display. Clearly, the favorite cake of all customers so I had to give it a try. I immediately understood why it is so popular. So it was also clear I had to make this cake as soon as I returned back to Munich. When I consulted the internet, I was shocked, so many recipes, so many different fruits, strawberries, apples, peaches, rhubarb, tangerines, the list was long. I decided to make a rather classic version first with frozen raspberries.
