  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the kuchen until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Let the kuchen cool slightly before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the kuchen with whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt.
