Ruehrkuchen (stirred cake)

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
250 grams Butter (1 cup plus 2 Tbsp)
250 grams Sugar (1 cup plus 2 Tbsp)
Lemon
3 To 4 eggs
A bit of rum
Salt
500 grams Flour (4 1/2 cups less 1 Tbsp)
1 pack Baking powder*
⅛ litre Milk (1/2 cup plus 1/2 Tbsp)
Buttercream:
1 pack Vanilla powder**
100 grams Sugar (1/2 cup less 1 Tbsp)
½ litre Milk (2 cups plus 2 Tbsp)

Directions

Cream the butter. Stir in pudding, a spoonful at a time. Cut cake twice [horizontally]. Fill with the buttercream, and also spread buttercream on top.

((*Note: Baking powder - and for that matter, vanilla sugar - is sold in small packages in Germany. The average cake uses one package. K.B.))

((**Note: Probably a package of pudding mix, as the later instructions refer to pudding. K.B.))
