KUCHEN
This is a German coffee cake that was handed down from my Grandmother. These freeze very well and can be stacked two to a package with waxed paper between. The prep time is estimated.If you wrap them in saran wrap and then in foil they should stay good indefinately. I have kept them in the freezer for at least 5 months.

FRUIT KUCHEN
This German recipe-passed down by my grandma-is one of the first desserts I made when I was young. I remember patting the crust into the pan many times. Now I work at a bakery but still make it often, especially in the summer when fresh fruit is plentiful. -Connie Meiselwitz, Kiel, Wisconsin

Steps:
- Preheat the over to 350F (180C). Butter an 8x8 baking dish.
- In a big bowl whisk together the eggs and the sugar just until it all comes together, about 30 seconds, no more.
- Add the flour (and baking powder if using) and wisk together just until the flour disappears and there are no more lumps, about 45 seconds, no more. The batter will be quite thick and there won't be a lot of it.
- Spread the fruit over the bottom of the dish and spread the batter over. It will barely cover the fruit and it'll look like it's not enough, but it will be great. Alternatively you can mix the fruit with the batter.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes depending on your oven. A toothpick inserted into the cake should come out clean when the cake is ready.
Tips:
- To make the perfect crumble topping, use a combination of flour, sugar, and butter. The butter should be cold and cut into small pieces. This will help to create a crumbly texture.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to mix the butter into the flour and sugar for the crumble topping.
- If you want a sweeter kuchen, add more sugar to the filling. You can also add a tablespoon of lemon zest or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the kuchen. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Let the kuchen cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
Conclusion:
Fruit kuchen is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everyone is sure to love it. With a variety of fruits to choose from, you can easily customize this recipe to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give fruit kuchen a try!
