The kitchen fully under control

Time for a new recipe, right? Since I’m a fan of simple and quick cakes, here’s a recipe from my friend Annika. It took just one day for the whole baking sheet to be gone!

Mother-in-law cake

For the dough:
150 g flour
65 g butter
65 g sugar
1 whole egg
1 tsp baking powder

For the batter:
100g butter
200g sugar
3 whole eggs
175g ground nuts
50g flour
1.5 tsp baking powder

1 jar of pickled cherries, preferably pitted (drain well)
Chocolate glaze

Preparation:
Place the kneaded dough in a springform pan, roll it out until smooth, and prick it several times with a fork. Spread the well-drained cherries over the dough. Then pour the batter evenly over the cherries.

Convection: 150°C, bake for one hour

Let cool and cover with chocolate glaze.

And the best part about the cake? It was baked in my new farmhouse kitchen. The last few weeks have been absolute chaos here on the farm; there were boxes and buckets scattered everywhere, and contractors were coming and going every day. But now the kitchen is finished, almost completely set up, and my beloved oven is already fired up.

I’m so happy about my new kitchen (it’s like when my husband gets a new tractor), and I want to say THANK YOU! to all the workers and helpers. A special thanks goes to Rudigier Carpentry and Grechenig Electrical Engineering for their fantastic work and for supporting our ideas!
