BLITZ TORTE
"In the 1930s, my three siblings and I always got to select the birthday cake we wanted, and I always chose my mother's Blitz Torte," says Caroline Krueger of Ripon, Wisconsin. The downsized version is equally lovely and light.

BERRY BLITZ TORTE
Blitz means "lightning" in German, referring to the lightning-quick way this old-fashioned cake comes together, at least compared with the more ornately frosted tortes popular a century ago. Buttery, nutmeg-scented batter is swirled with meringue and sprinkled with pecans before baking. The meringue, which browns on top but stays soft inside, takes the place of icing while the nuts add flavor and crunch. A whipped cream and berry filling makes the whole thing incredibly soft and rich. You can bake the cake layers up to 12 hours ahead, but it's best to fill them with cream and berries within 3 hours of serving so they don't get soggy. This recipe is adapted from my friend's mother, Patricia O'Neal, who got it from her mother, Genevieve Lehmont.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two round 8-inch cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Grease the paper, then lightly flour the pans.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder and salt.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or electric beaters, beat 1/2 cup softened butter and sugar until fluffy and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg yolks one at a time, beating, until well combined. Add half the cake flour mixture, then half the milk to the butter mixture, beating until smooth. Repeat with remaining flour mixture and milk, then beat in vanilla and nutmeg. Scrape batter evenly into prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- To make meringue topping, whip egg whites with cream of tartar and salt in an electric mixer until cloudlike and very foamy. Continue whipping while adding sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Whip until meringue is smooth and glossy, and stiff peaks form.
- Cover cake batter with meringue, dividing it evenly between pans. Swirl the tops, and sprinkle with pecans. Bake until meringue is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center all the way down to the cake emerges clean, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer pan to a wire rack. Cool for 30 minutes; turn cake out of pan and place on rack right-side up. Let cakes cool completely.
- To assemble, whip the cream with as much of the sugar as you like, and vanilla. Place one cake layer on a serving plate with the meringue side down. Spoon whipped cream on top, then cover with berries. Place second cake layer on top of whipped cream with meringue side up. Serve cake as soon as possible after filling, preferably within 3 hours, and use a serrated knife to cut.

GERMAN BLITZ TORTE
As a child, I remember my mom making this cake time after time in our home. It was my father's favorite cake, so she made it often. It took me a while to find a duplicate recipe for the cake, since my mother passed away, and she had never wrote it down. I finally found one that matches it, and it is wonderful! It is even better the second day! I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) round cake pans, tapping out the excess flour, and set aside.
- To make cake, beat cake mix, water, butter and eggs in a large bowl on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide the mixture evenly between the 2 pans.
- To make the topping, combine the pecans, 1 tablespoons of the sugar, and the cinnamon with a spoon, in a small bowl. Set aside. Wash and dry the beaters well to remove any traces of the cake batter. In a separate large bowl, whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar gradually and beat until the meringue is glossy. Divide the meringue evenly, and spread it over the cake batter in each pan. Spread the pecan mixture evenly over the meringue in each pan.
- Bake the layers until a toothpick place in the center comes out clean, about 28-33 minutes. Let cool completely in the pans on wire racks.
- To make the filling, beat pudding and milk for 2 minutes. Pudding will set in 5 minutes. Chill until ready to use.
- To assemble the cake, invert the cake layers onto the wire racks and then immediately turn the layers right side up. Place one layer on a cake plate. Spread the pudding over it, then place the second layer on top. You will not be applying pudding mixture onto the top layer. Cover with plastic, refrigerate until ready to serve.

- Whisk milk, 2 egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in medium saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Set aside to cool while making cake.
- Preheat oven to 325ºF. Spray two 8 inch cake pans with cooking spray. Line each with cut to size wax paper on bottom and spray paper. Set aside.
- Use a knife to go around edges of cake pan completely. Since the layers are assembled with meringue on top, you need to use a little finesse taking the cake layers out. Use a small spatula and your hand to gently lift cake out of pans. Once the cake is fully released I held the cake like a serving tray while I peeled off the wax paper. Place first layer on serving platter, top with cooled cream filling, and then release other cake layer to place on top. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Use a serrated knife to cut slices and refrigerate leftovers.
