This very simple nut cake was passed on to me. It was passed on by another user from the German platform nebenan.de. I didn’t specifically ask her for this recipe, but she wanted to introduce me to this recipe from her great grandmother she is still making regularly. Of course I was happy to receive said recipe. Especially in fall and winter I do enjoy a simple nut cake. As is often the case with old recipes, there were no instructions. I simply assumed that it follows the regular creaming method, which means that you first beat butter with sugar, add eggs and lastly flour and all other dry ingredients. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised how nice it tasted. I believe adding milk makes it so moist and delicious.
These German nut triangles are one of my favorite desserts from Germany. I just learned recently that you supposedly only serve them during Christmas season in some regions of Germany. However, I remember seeing them everywhere all year round, every bakery had them at least where we lived. Even the school kiosk offered them all the time and I happily ate them day in and day out.
