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.

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.

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.
