TRADITIONAL GERMAN OBST KUCHEN - FRESH FRUIT FLAN (SPONGE CAKE)
Traditional German Obst Kuchen is a Fresh Fruit Flan with a sponge-type cake base, sometimes with a thin layer of custard, topped with fresh fruit and then sealed with a fruit glaze. Obst Kuchen is very typically served throughout Germany during the afternoon coffee hour, with dollops of freshly whipped cream. One of my favorite toppings is fresh whole strawberries with a red currant or strawberry glaze. Fresh raspberries or other fresh or canned fruits such as kiwis, apricots, cherries, gooseberries, and pineapple are also popular. The traditional pan used is a 10-inch German flan pan, however a torte or springform pan would also work. Adapted from my friend Maite C's Obst Kuchen Boden recipe that was given to me when we were stationed at Ft. Campbell KY.

STRAWBERRY FRUIT FLAN
This is a typical German Strawberry Flan. When the strawberry season arrives these cakes can be found in every café and every home. You can use any combination of fruits on the cake. Peaches and kiwi; raspberries, apricots - etc. To glaze I use the packaged glaze which can usually be found in the produce (!) section of the supermarket.

Steps:
- Cake:.
- Separate yolks from egg whites. Beat the yolks, water, sugar and vanilla sugar until foamy. Add the flour and baking powder to this mixture.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff and carefully fold them into the above mixture.
- Pour into greased flan form and bake at 350° for ca. 25 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool.
- Cake tends to stick to pan, if this happens do the following: turn cake onto cooling rake, if it does not come out easily, run a tea towel under cold water, wring and place over bottom of flan form. The cake should then drop out easily.
- Syrup:.
- Mix together all ingredients and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Pour over cool cake. Top with sliced fruit and glaze.
- You do not need to use the syrup, if you do, use it carefully as you do not want to drown the cake in it. It is only meant to give it a bit of a kick.
- Serve with whipped cream and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit. This will give your flan cake the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cake from cracking.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.
- Garnish the cake with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar. This will add a touch of elegance and make your cake even more delicious.
