Hope this doesn't come off as stupid question: Years ago my german bakery (that is closed) had a crumb cake with vanilla cream and pineapple filling(9" round).
Anyone hear of it - is it just vanilla custard or pudding and a pineapple filling just put together (maybe a duh moment for me) or is it one specific recipe.
I'd love to duplicate it.
Thanks for any help.
A bakery from my childhood (German, also) used to have one that was just a cream-filled crumbcake. I bet the pineapple-cream one is a variation, and probably just a combo of the pastry cream and pineapple. Sounds like it would lots of fun to experiment, though!
Well, I did make the cake yesterday. It was delicious.
But I will be searching for a pastry cream recipe that is not too sweet, though. Does anyone have a recipe for pastry cream that would like to share? The pineapple filling was just perfect. Crumb cake was wonderful.
I will definitely make this again.
Thanks. Phyllis
I just got back from Germany and immediately became addicted to this lovely confection - the filling was a pastry cream, and like all other European desserts, it had much less sugar than our taste buds are used to. I make pastry cream with 1/3 less sugar than called for, and I would try to reduce sugar in the cake as well. FYI a single one in the many walk away bakeries was 1.5 euros. I found an 8" one in a bakery chain for 2.99 euros. Either way, I would love a real recipe. The cake looks like a yeast cake, not too sweet. The crumb topping was plentiful on the cake and it was dusted with what tasted to me as 10X sugar with a little flour mixed in.
