The perfect presentation
Despite the name, Bavarian cake's origins seem to be French. It used to be consumed in the early eighteenth century in Germany as a drink made from milk, tea and liqueur imported by French chefs who worked at the Bavarian court. A century later it would have spread in France as the dessert we currently know, as a variant of this drink.
You can decorate your Bavarian Coffee Cake in different ways, including a dollop of cream, cinnamon, coffee beans or chopped dried fruit.
