@Sasu@bookrastinating.com Nice, these all look like lovely, sensible recipes that would actually produce a cake.
@Paranoid-Fish Thank you! I don't think it's supposed to be like a Französische Apfeltarte (based on the pictures of them I see). I'm not an expert on German baking but when I've been in Germany the cake has always been incredible so I'm fully blaming the recipe/maybe my oven and not Apfelkuchen

Apfelkuchen was not a success. It would be fascinating to know what the intended result was! But there was no picture. What I got was a thin crusty layer, some goo, and dried out apple chunks on top. I found a food blogger who made it and seemed happy with it but hers looked the same as mine (bad).
It does actually taste pretty good, but that's because sugary baked apples with lemon zest are good even when there's some goo.

@jedes_jahr_ein_neues_protokoll@troet.cafe well, "Iced Spice Cookies," page 228 should answer that. And no, there's not a picture.

This book has so many pictures of Berlin and so few photos of how the recipes are supposed to turn out
@ejnro@books.babb.no Oh interesting! I didn’t realize it wasn’t originally English-languages originally. The copy before the recipes is kind of odd and it makes sense that it might be a bit of an awkward translation
Just flipping through I found multiple typos 😅
Fun to look through! I tried the puff pastry recipe and it worked just fine, but it could have been written more clearly -- I found it a puzzle to figure out how many turns you were meant to do. And the photographs along side it showed a different (but ultimately interchangeable) encasing technique than the text describes. I'll probably try a hot water crust recipe before it goes back to the library.
