Total Time 1 hours 5 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 50 minutes

Yield One 9-by-13-inch cake, about 15 large slices

Number Of Ingredients 15

All-purpose flour, for dusting pan
1 box German chocolate cake mix 
Butter, for greasing pan
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup fresh or frozen and thawed whole cherries, pitted and minced
1/2 cup brandy 
1/2 cup simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar simmered, then cooled)
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
2 cups fresh or frozen and thawed whole cherries, pitted
Chopped chocolate

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. 
  • Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake batter with the coconut and pecans. Stir until just mixed. 
  • In a small saucepan, combine the cherries, brandy and simple syrup. Place the mixture over medium-low heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced to a thick syrup. Remove from the heat and let cool. 
  • Pour half the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Top with the cherry mixture. Pour the remaining cake batter over top and smooth lightly. Bake the cake according to package instructions, about 35 minutes, adding a few minutes. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clear of batter. Let the cake cool a few minutes before slicing. 
  • For the garnish: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium-low heat. When the cream is just up to a simmer, remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. 
  • Slice the cake and drizzle the melted chocolate over each slice. Garnish with a few whole cherries and some chopped chocolate.

AUTHENTIC GERMAN KUCHEN | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Authentic German Kuchen | Just A Pinch Recipes image

All cultures have some type of sweet dough and this German Kuchen is a great example. Kuchen is the German word for cake. The dough is slightly sweet and fluffy and tasty on its own. But, the toppings are where this recipe gets fun. The cinnamon topping is classic and almost like a cinnamon streusel. If you love cherries, try the cherry toppings. It's a wonderful complement to the bread. We'll admit, the butter topping had us confused. There's no butter! Once baked, it sinks to the bottom creates a buttery custard. Simple and so good, the apple is a great topping for fall. The apples bake perfectly and are filled with cinnamon spice. The cheese topping is similar to the butter one where it sinks to the bottom while baking. If you asked us which is our favorite, we wouldn't be able to single one out. They're all good in their own way. Each recipe makes one Kuchen, so keep one or two for yourselves and give another to a neighbor or family. Whichever Kuchen you choose to make, you'll enjoy a bakery-quality treat.
