They&#8217;ve been baking since 1852 and specialise in baumkuchen (&#8220;tree cake&#8221;), a cake baked in 15-20 layers &#8211; one at a time &#8211; on a spit in the oven.<\/p>\n<p>The separate layers make it a light bite, but denser than sponge, and the chocolate coated version makes this unusual cake a little bit tastier. While there, I tried a cream cake filled with Christmas flavour: cinnamon and raisins, with chocolate shavings. Finished off with some toffee rooibos tea, and set in a proper old cafe with locals filing in for a pastry fix, it was the authentic experience I was looking for, especially when sugar was the star attraction for breakfast. Bacon and eggs?
