MOM'S FRUIT FLAN (GERMAN ERDBEER/OBST BODEN TORTE)



Mom's Fruit Flan (German Erdbeer/Obst Boden Torte) image

The dough is a little like a sugar cookie dough and doesn't get soggy with the fruit. Fill with fresh strawberries or your favorite fruit (my personal favorite is an assortment of sliced peaches, cherries, kiwis, and fresh strawberries arranged over a thin layer of custard topped with a clear jelly glaze, served with a dollop of whipped cream). Mom's favorite was simply fresh sliced strawberries with strawberry glaze, and whipped cream on the side. Delicious!! A great seasonal dessert. You will need a 10 or 11 inch boden torte pan for this recipe. The boden recipe is adapted from "Mennonite Girls Can Cook", the filling is all mine.

TRADITIONAL GERMAN OBST KUCHEN - FRESH FRUIT FLAN (SPONGE CAKE)



Traditional German Obst Kuchen - Fresh Fruit Flan (Sponge Cake) image

Traditional German Obst Kuchen is a Fresh Fruit Flan with a sponge-type cake base, sometimes with a thin layer of custard, topped with fresh fruit and then sealed with a fruit glaze. Obst Kuchen is very typically served throughout Germany during the afternoon coffee hour, with dollops of freshly whipped cream. One of my favorite toppings is fresh whole strawberries with a red currant or strawberry glaze. Fresh raspberries or other fresh or canned fruits such as kiwis, apricots, cherries, gooseberries, and pineapple are also popular. The traditional pan used is a 10-inch German flan pan, however a torte or springform pan would also work. Adapted from my friend Maite C's Obst Kuchen Boden recipe that was given to me when we were stationed at Ft. Campbell KY.

STRAWBERRY FRUIT FLAN



Strawberry Fruit Flan image

This is a typical German Strawberry Flan. When the strawberry season arrives these cakes can be found in every café and every home. You can use any combination of fruits on the cake. Peaches and kiwi; raspberries, apricots - etc. To glaze I use the packaged glaze which can usually be found in the produce (!) section of the supermarket.

Time 45m

Yield 1 cake, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggs
2 tablespoons lukewarm water
150 g sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
150 g flour
1 1/2 lbs strawberries (approx)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cherry flavored liqueur or 1 tablespoon cherry brandy

Steps:

  • Cake:.
  • Separate yolks from egg whites. Beat the yolks, water, sugar and vanilla sugar until foamy. Add the flour and baking powder to this mixture.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff and carefully fold them into the above mixture.
  • Pour into greased flan form and bake at 350° for ca. 25 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool.
  • Cake tends to stick to pan, if this happens do the following: turn cake onto cooling rake, if it does not come out easily, run a tea towel under cold water, wring and place over bottom of flan form. The cake should then drop out easily.
  • Syrup:.
  • Mix together all ingredients and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Pour over cool cake. Top with sliced fruit and glaze.
  • You do not need to use the syrup, if you do, use it carefully as you do not want to drown the cake in it. It is only meant to give it a bit of a kick.
  • Serve with whipped cream and enjoy!

GERMAN FRUIT FLAN RECIPE ~ OBSTTORTE RECIPE - (4.1/5)



German Fruit Flan Recipe ~ Obsttorte Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Lsweetnell

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the crust:
150 g (5 ounces/1 slightly-rounded cup) unbleached white flour
90 g (3 ounces/6 Tbsp) unsalted butter, chopped, at room temp
1 Tbsp oil
3 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp raw sugar
1/4 tsp salt
For the custard:
Ingredients Serves 2 or makes one nice tort.
2 cup milk or half and half for a richer pudding
1 ⁄4 cup white sugar
2 egg yolk
1 egg
1 ⁄4 cup corn starch
1 ⁄3 cup white sugar
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For pastery: Makes one 9 inch (23 cm) tart shell Preheat oven to 210°C (410°F). Measure flour and set aside. Place a removable-base 9 inch tart tin on a baking sheet. Place all other ingredients - butter through salt - in a medium oven-proof bowl and place bowl in hot oven for 15 mins. Butter will bubble and just start to brown at edges. Remove bowl from oven, dump in flour and stir quickly with a long wooden spoon until dough pulls away from sides of bowl and forms a ball - do not touch bowl with your bare hands. Tip hot dough into the waiting tart pan and spread roughly across the base with a spatula. When cool enough to touch, use your fingers to press and spread evenly into tin and up sides - an off-set spatula is great here to get a really smooth base. Prick all over with fork and refrigerate for 5 mins to firm up slightly. Bake 15 mins until golden. Cool, fill and bake again as required. I highly recommend using it for this Drunken Chocolate Caramel Tart insanity. If using with a no-bake filling, simply bake the crust for a minute or two longer, then cool and fill. A better choice for the pastry: Directions for custard: Prep 15 min Cook 5 min Ready 20 min In a heavy saucepan, stir together the milk or half and half, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and egg. Stir together the remaining sugar and cornstarch; then stir them into the egg until smooth. When the milk comes to a boil, drizzle it into the bowl in a thin stream while mixing so that you do not cook the eggs. Return the mixture to the saucepan, and slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly so the eggs don' t curdle or scorch on the bottom. When the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, remove from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla, mixing until the butter is completely blended in. Pour into a heat-proof container and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled before using. Cover with fruit ... in this case, drained canned peach slices and fresh blueberries. See below for other combinations. Other traditional fillings Make as above and finish by covering with a glaze. Or, brush tart with warmed apricot jam, cover with prepared fruit or berries, and spoon glaze over top.

GERMAN STRAWBERRY TART / ERDBEER TORTENBODEN



German Strawberry Tart / Erdbeer Tortenboden image

Found on Tasty-german-reciipe.com to use during ZWT 6 and during our bumper crop of home-grown strawberries. This is a spongcake sort of dish underneath with strawberries and glaze on top. I envision a bit of whipped cream for to topping too, just to make it even more decadent. Because this dessert really spolights the strawberries, I recommend only making this when strawneeries are in season. And if you can find a friendly neighbor with a strawberry patch - more's the better! You can do this with small whole berries too for a breathtaking presentation.

50 g superfine sugar, plus
2 teaspoons sugar
50 g flour, plus
1 teaspoon flour

225 g strawberries, hulled and sliced
3 tablespoons strawberry jam or 3 tablespoons glaze

Steps:
