I make this recipe all the time with a few changes. I tend to add more cocoa and almond extract, and use less sugar. The cake is dry for Americans, but German cakes tend to be drier and more like a sweet bread than like American cakes. I also only bake mine for 50 minutes which helps it not dry out as much.

Ninety Minute Cinnamon Rolls

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2008

I've always been told that cinnamon rolls are really hard to make. These cinnamon rolls were easy! They taste great and have a bit more of a real food kind of feel instead of dessert. I can eat one and actually feel satisfied (but who eats just one after smelling them bake!) Definitely something to try, even if you have never made cinnamon rolls from scratch before.

Blueberry Waffles with Fast Blueberry Sauce

Reviewed: Jun. 3, 2007

These waffles were REALLY good. I didn't measure the blueberries, just added a big handful, and this made this excellent! There were way more than enough for 3 people, so I stuck the rest in a ziploc bag to munch on during class, they're a really good slightly sweet snack! The sauce was also super yummy!

Black Forest Cake II

Reviewed: May 11, 2007

This cake was really close to the traditional black forest cake. The only difference was that it was a little too sweet. I cut the sugar a bit, which helped but the buttercream was still too sweet. I also used splenda for half of the sugar in the cake, and it didn't change the taste or consistency.

Green Tea Mint Cookies

Reviewed: May 25, 2006

This is an awesome recipe. It's great with tea, and for those who love tea. I've made it multiple times with different flavors of green tea. Honey Lemon Ginsing is especially good!
