donauwellen // danube waves
Donauwelle (danube wave)- a classic German cake with morello cherries, butter creme and cocoa. Butter cream? Oh oh! Its contains two layers of batter: a white and a dark one. Actually this cake is sometimes also called Schneewittchenkuchen / Snow White Cake, probably because of the combination of colours: white, black and red. Neat. But why this is mostly called Donauwelle? I have no idea. Yes, there is a wave-like pattern, but why attribute it to the Danube? Well, one thing is for sure – this cake is very yummy indeed. Very heavy, too.
This is why you will find here a variation of the cake: I let go of the butter cream layer completely. And the result may not be called a Snow White Cake – or Danube Wave any longer, but maybe the little sister or nephew. And it is very easy to make and requires not many ingredients.

The other day I wanted to bake but there were no ingredients except cherries and tofu. So I gave it a shot at vegan muffins. I think they turned out pretty goof for a first shot. I quickly searched the net for how one would go about for a vegan version of muffins and I ended up with a mixture of tofu, oil and water. It may sound strange to use tofu for baking sweet goods, but it worked out surprisingly well. I ended up with 10 muffins – and filled up each mold completely. I believe these ones work very well with any fruit – but cherries and chocolate are definitely worth a try! They taste interestingly different. Well worth a try. I will definitely try more vegan muffin recipes soon.
