Funeral Cake

It seems that I’m doing nothing else than bake *g*
Honestly, I’m totally overloaded with my thesis paper, but baking a cake and eating it after is the nicest break for me at the moment.
The cakes name is Crumble Cake (Streuselkuchen) and unfortunately I made a botch-up of it (I messed it up a little bit). The yeast dough could be better…
But anyway…you may wonder about the name “funeral cake”?
It has its name because this is the cake served when families invite for coffee and cake after a funeral. That’s it.
Sad cake….sniffle….but damn yummy!!
And it reminds me of my grand-grandmother (RIP); she made it very often and I wanted to have the same smell in my nose again 
And because I’m living in her house now, which reminds me of her funeral cake smell, I continue her tradition
I also get prepared for Maine in case I must convince my boyfriends’ family with good German cakes…
Nothing easier than that… *trumpeting* put on pinny and go!

oh titania, i think the cake wasn’t that good 
my dad said the same…too much sugar, fresh yeast is maybe better than the dry one to make a more fluffy yeast cake.
i’m looking for another, better recipe soon.
