TRADITIONAL GERMAN OBST KUCHEN - FRESH FRUIT FLAN (SPONGE CAKE)



Traditional German Obst Kuchen - Fresh Fruit Flan (Sponge Cake) image

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.

2 eggs, separated
1/4 lb sugar (150 grams or 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar)
1/4 lb flour (150 grams or 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons flour)
1 (1/4 ounce) packet dry yeast
1 teaspoon vanilla (or 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar)
1/2 cup milk (approximate)
2/3 cup prepared custard (optional)
2 -3 cups fresh fruit such as strawberries (or kiwis, apricots, cherries)
1/2 cup fruit jam mixed with a little water, to glaze (red currant, strawberry or apricot jam)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In large bowl, beat yolks. Add sugar, softened margarine and yeast. Mix well.
  • Add flour, then vanilla and mix well.
  • In separate bowl beat egg whites until stiff. Add egg whites to flour mixture - then gradually mix in enough milk to give a soft dropping consistency.

Spread your favorite fruit glaze over the top of the fruit (may use a clear glaze or use strawberry or red currant jelly, or apricot jam). Chill until serving time.
  • Serve with dollops of fresh whipped cream, and a cup of coffee. Enjoy!

Time 1h42m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup white sugar
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ cup butter
½ cup vegetable oil
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
⅓ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1 cup fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
3 kiwifruit, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ cup white sugar
½ cup water
½ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-by-15 inch jelly roll pan.
  • For the crust, sift together the flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda into a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together white and confectioners' sugars, butter, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients. Blend well. Spread the dough evenly on the bottom of the greased pan. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  • For the filling, cream together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Spread over the cooled crust. Arrange the fruit on the cream cheese filling and refrigerate.
  • For the glaze, mix together the sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisk in the water, orange juice, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil gently for one minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  • Spoon or brush the glaze evenly over the fruit. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, ripe fruit. This will ensure that your flan has the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of fruits. This will add visual appeal and flavor to your flan.
  • Don't overcook the flan. The center should be slightly jiggly when you take it out of the oven.
  • Let the flan cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.
  • Serve the flan chilled. This will make it even more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Fresh fruit flan is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a fresh fruit flan that will impress your guests.
