Prince Charming
It’s a cake I’m particularly fond of which takes me back to a time in the early 80’s when I was in Germany and had met my ‘Prince Charming’. A person from another culture, who taught me a lot about tolerance, political commitment and real love. Some of his words have been of great help over the years. I haven't seen him since then and won't see him again as he passed away some years ago. So I've named this simple though delicate cake in his honour.
It’s what the German call ‘Streusel Kuchen’ and I had first had it at that time. I don’t know why but I've kind of forgotten it for long! I only made it for the first time a few years ago when my elder son showed me a photo of a special cake he had eaten in Germany and wanted me to bake it for him. There it was again!
I found the recipe in an old German cookbook: it was 'love at first sight' for all our family.
