The classic Danube wave never goes out of style. A cake that was created from grandma's yellowed recipe collection. This makes the classic particularly fluffy.
The Donauwelle, a piece of baking tradition, is reminiscent of grandma's kitchen, where it was prepared according to an old, tried and tested recipe. Taken from the yellowed pages of her extensive cake tome, it promises a perfect mix of moist sponge cake, sweet cherries, creamy buttercream and glossy chocolate icing.
With its unmistakable wave pattern, the Danube Wave is not only a visual highlight, but also a taste experience. A classic cake that is just as suitable for special occasions as it is for a cozy coffee hour on Sunday.
And because grandmas are usually not only good at baking, but also at cooking, Simply Tasty offers all sorts of dishes that bring back childhood memories from grandma's kitchen, such as the recipe for light and airy potato dumplings, traditional red cabbage with apples or hearty potato soup with sausages.
