BAUMKUCHEN
A true Swiss Baumkuchen is almost impossible to make at home. It requires a rotating spit, and almost a gallon of batter, and loads of time. This is a smaller version, although it too takes time. The results taste a little like a Kit-Kat bar. The many layers will remind you of the famous Dobostorte.

Steps:
- Butter a 9 inch square metal pan. Place a sheet of parchment paper in the bottom. Butter the parchment, and flour the whole pan. Position the rack of the oven to the lowest level, and preheat the broiler.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter or margarine until light and fluffy. Add in the almond paste in small chunks; beat until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt. Beat in the yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until smooth.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites to soft peaks. Add in the sugar slowly while continuing to beat the meringue to stiff, glossy peaks. Fold the meringue into the yolk mixture. Sift the flour over this, and fold in.
- Spoon a small amount of batter onto the parchment in the baking pan. With a pastry brush, paint the batter on. You want to cover the paper completely, but have a thin layer. Place under the broiler, and cook until light brown; this should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Brush another layer of the batter over the cake, and place under the broiler. Continue on in this way until all of the batter is used. Cool completely. Turn the cake out of the pan, and trim the edges clean.
- In a double boiler, combine the chocolate and the oil. Heat until the chocolate is smooth. With a pastry brush, brush one side of the trimmed cake with some chocolate. Don't make it too thick. Allow this to harden. Turn the cake over, and brush the other side. Allow the cake to set. Cut the cake into 6 narrow strips, each about 1-1/2 inches wide. Brush the sides and top with the glaze, and allow to set. Store in the refrigerator, but serve at room temperature.

BAUM TORTE/BAUM KUCHEN (GERMAN TREE CAKE )
The characteristic rings that appear when sliced resemble tree rings, and give the cake its German name, Baum kuchen, which literally translates to tree cake. I made this years ago getting the recipe from bon appetit. All ingredients should be room temperature. This is a dense, rich cake so be sure to slice thin. You can always go back for seconds. Optional: Crushed toasted almonds can be scattered on the jam layers. This torte will have between 20-30 layers.

- The first layers will take longer to brown.

- Be sure to push the batter evenly around so the cake remains flat.
- Doming cakes are bound to happen. You can correct as you go.

Steps:
- Heat the grill to medium-high, or set it to 220C if you can. Butter and line the base of a 23cm springform cake tin. Put the marzipan and 2 tbsp of the cream into a bowl of a stand mixer and beat for 1-2 mins with a paddle attachment until it forms a paste. While beating, gradually add the rest of the cream. Tip the mixture into another bowl and set aside. You don't need to clean the mixer bowl.
- Put the butter, caster sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt in the empty mixing bowl and beat for 3-4 mins until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the creamy marzipan mixture.
- Mix the egg yolks into the cake batter, one by one, then fold in the flour and cornflour.
- Using an electric whisk, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until it begins to form firm peaks, then fold it into the cake batter so you don't knock out too much air.
- Ladle just enough mixture into the cake tin to cover the base - you'll need about two-thirds of a ladle. Spread the mixture evenly over the base of the tin, then cook under the grill for 3 mins until set and golden, watching it carefully so it doesn't start to burn.
- Remove from the grill and ladle the same amount of batter on top. Spread it out in the same way, making sure that all the cake below is covered in a thin layer. Cook again for 3 mins. Continue until all the batter is used. It should make about 10 layers, depending on the thickness.
- When it's finished cooking, run a small paring knife around the edge of the tin to stop it from sticking, and leave to cool completely. Remove the cooled cake from the pan and invert onto a cooling rack.
- To make the glaze, heat the chocolate, cream, syrup and butter together in a saucepan until melted together into a smooth, glossy sauce, about 1-2 mins. Pour over the top of the cake and down the sides, then leave to set fir 1 hr before serving.
