Auferstanden aus Ruinen...

Take a tour of Saxony´s capital and the splendour of its rebuilt historic centre with the Frauenkirche overlooking the river Elbe, the baroque Palaces and beautiful countryside around. It´s the birthplace of the European hymn `An die Freude` written here by Schiller in 1785. It has seen much destruction in WWII and has been dormant for much of its time during the DDR. Now renovated in it´s baroque beauty, Dresden is a pleasure to visit any time of the year.

Host to Germany´s oldest Christmas market (the Striezelmarkt) it would have been obvious to choose the Dresdner Christstollen as a recipe, but since it requires several weeks of preparation, is entirely hand-kneaded and needs a ton of ingredients, Nell`s Travel kitchen has decided on another traditional Sunday cake recipe named after a 14th century male coat  consisting of a top, a peplum and a belt due to it´s 3 separate cake layers. It´s a cake for a festive occasion or a family gathering and you can find the recipe here: https://youtu.be/iOnFs2XO-x8
