Pie
Description
Tasty baked goods for the whole family. This cake traces its roots back to ancient Greece. It is called Baumkuchen and translates as “tree cake.” Originally, “Baumkuchen” was prepared on a spit. It was brushed with batter, and during baking layers formed like those on a tree trunk. It is not difficult to make, although it will take a bit more time than ordinary baking. If you bake the crust of the layers more strongly, the pattern will be clearly visible. The bake is ready. Serve at the table.
