Frank's Cinnamon Kuchen image

This is my late father's recipe. He did not make it with fruit like a ton of other kuchen recipes that I have seen. Its a cinnamon german coffeecake that he helped sale at my hometown's annual summer festival. He was part of the Knights of St.John and this is the kuchen that they sold every year at the festival. I sometimes drizzle vanilla glaze or icing on the top, but this is my doing and not part of the original recipe. One more thing..this will NOT rise up a lot. It rises only a small bit and the dough will not fill up and touch the edges of the round cake pans.

I had trouble getting the dough to roll out. I ended up having to add more flour, which made the kuchen a little dry.

This kuchen was a little too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
