How to bake the seltzer cake
Quick and easy: this is how you can vary the seltzer cake
After the cake has been baked, you can refine it with various glazes or toppings. The cake is traditionally coated with a lemon icing. But an orange sugar icing or a buttercream that you mix with rum or cognac also go great with this classic cake - especially if you also sprinkle hazelnut brittle on top.
The seltzer cake is also a good base for a fruit cake. You can mix the fruits into the batter beforehand. Blueberries, canned mandarins and other fruits are suitable for this . After baking, you can also coat it with pudding cream, top it with fruit and then cover it with cake icing. There are no limits to your imagination and so you can bake the simple seltzer cake again and again without it getting boring.
