A German Reciepe?!
Answers: My neice is preparing a reciepe with a German heiratage for a class project. Any ideas??
LOL sure. this one is as German as it gets, and is very easy and cheap.
Sweet and sour cabbage.
1 head of green cabbage
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup sugar
Core the head of cabbage, then slice/shred the cabbage. Try to get it as fine as you can.
Place the cabbage shreds into a large pot, add the vinegar and the sugar. Cook over med/low heat covered. Stir every few minutes until the cabbage becomes soft.
Add more/less vinegar and sugar to taste. It should be sweet and sour.
That's it. My family is German, and this is a traditional food we make at many family events.
Note: This stuff is better the day after. So, cook it a day ahead of time, and then just reheat it.

CAKE ASSEMBLY: To assemble cake, place 1 layer on a cake plate. Spread with butter cream
filling. Using 3/4 cup of the cherries, which have been patted dry, drop cherries evenly over cream. Place second layer on cake. Repeat. Place third layer on top. Fold 2 tbsp. confectioners' sugar into the whipped cream. Cover the sides and top of the cake with whipped cream. Decorate top of cake with remaining 1/2 cup cherries. To make chocolate curls from chocolate bar, shave (at room temperature) with a vegetable peeler. Refrigerate curls until ready to use.
