Hefezopf, Strawberry Cake and Pretzels

 

I haven't had much time lately for baking so it was nice to spend a day in the kitchen. 

This is by far the best German Hefezopf I have baked and I have tried heaps of different recipes. This one is so light and fluffy and stayed fresh for days.  

Recipe can be found here

This cake is such a quick and easy recipe, a few ingredients into the mixer and bake the base for 10 minutes. Then fill with custard, fruit and a glaze.

Translation has a blooper:  "Lemon zest, or oil of bitter almonds and eggs and cook everything Whisk together well."

A little topsy turvy, don't "cook everything," combine instead.  :)

Been thinking along similar lines....  Strawberries, shortcakes, braids and lye.  Looks wonderful!
