Grandmas Sandcake “Oma Gertis Sandkuchen”

“Oma ist die Beste”.

“Grandma is the best” in English. There is no family gathering without this cake!

When i was a child i never paid attention to it. There were so many amazing creme cakes with fruit and crumbles and i did not want to waste space of my belly on a boring dry white cake in the corner.

I guess, some things you first learn when you get older, one of those lessons was – sometimes the dry looking cakes are the most flavorful, most satisfying cakes on the whole table! This equation definatly dessolves for this one! With its buttery, rum falvor its the favorite of our whole family and maybe soon of you.

All credits to my, Claire’s, Oma Gerti!
