Seasonal cuisine Cakes

Frankfurter Kranz or Bienenstich – we've given our best German cake classics a fresh and creative makeover. Et voilà: They're suddenly as chic as French patisserie!

The sommelier knows a thing or two about dessert: The “Coda” is Germany’s only high-class dessert restaurant.

Lemon curd Swiss roll 2018 Abtsberg Riesling Spätlese, Maximin Grünhaus, Ruwer, maximingruenhaus.de, €20. This Spätlese from the monopole vineyard Abtsberg has a fine acidity and is very mineral and crisp. Low in alcohol and highly enjoyable.

The Frankfurter Kranz is a classic cake: with buttercream and brittle, this handy version of the dessert is a sweet highlight - perfect for festive occasions or a cozy coffee break.

A classic reimagined: These little Black Forest cherry tarts combine light chocolate sponge cake, airy cherry cream, and fruity jelly. The delicate chocolate lattice makes them an elegant eye-catcher on any coffee table.

Light, rum-soaked savarins meet the aroma of bee sting cake – with vanilla cream and crunchy almond brittle. Moist, creamy, and delicately caramelized, these little cakes combine French patisserie with familiar cake traditions.
