There’s something so magical about slicing into a Baumkuchen. The layers inside reveal beautiful rings, like a tree trunk-hence the name, which means German tree cake. This authentic German recipe is packed with tradition and flavor (and the best memories for me). Plus it’s simpler than it looks!I kept experimenting over and over again, almost gave up, and came up with THIS fluffy, almond-flavored Baumkuchen that my entire family loves so much! I decorate it with a pretty glaze and ganache 'tree ring' accents and it just makes such a pretty centerpiece for any celebration.This recipe is also in my German cookbook 'German Home Kitchen.'
