Frankfurter Kranz

Frankfurter Kranz is a crown-shaped cake specialty from Frankfurt am Main. It consists of sand, Vienna or cake batter. The collar is cut through two to three times horizontally. The individual layers are then coated with buttercream and often with red jam or jelly (typically the varieties of strawberry, blackcurrant or cherry). Often the soil is soaked with flavored sugar syrup. Outside the wreath is completely covered with butter cream and covered with walnut or almond. If he only sprinkled with praline, the name Frankfurter Kranz is prohibited. Then he must be declared Krokantkranz. Occasionally only a cheaper fat cream is used instead of butter cream, which is not permitted also the designation as a Frankfurter Kranz. In the postwar period, he was also often garnished with small sugar eggs.

There are variations both with buttercream polka dots and cherries as well as without. Frankfurter Kranz is offered occasionally iced. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall, Berlin baker baked a 200 -kilogram Frankfurter Kranz. The cake is regarded as the "greatest reunion cake " for the occasion. She had a surface area of 2.60 x 2.20 meters and was subsequently divided into 1800 portions.
