Eruv Shabbos I wrote an email to friend in the Us I was telling her that I made kuchen for Shabbos she did not know what I was talking about. What do Americans call kuchen?
Has anyone got a good receipe for kuchen? I usually do a yeast base pastry and fill it with either raisans, jam and cinnamin or put margarine, sugar and drinking chocalet in a pan warm it up and then spread it on and roll it all up. So any other suggestions would be nice.

Kuchen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Kuchen, the German word for "cake", is used as the name for several different types of sweet desserts or pastries. One "kuchen" is similar to a pie, with a thicker, cake-like crust and a sweet custard-based filling. Some kuchens can also be made by simply baking the custard filling. Another kuchen is a pastry in which a filling is rolled into a long spiral of dough and baked, and then sliced to serve. It is sometimes referred to as a nut roll.

Kuchen named deserts are presumeably handed down from those of German heritage and as such are often popular in many areas of German settlement in the United States, particularly North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota.

In 2000, a kuchen was designated the state dessert of South Dakota.

Kuchen - yum. My mother is from England & when she came here to live 20+ years ago, she went into the bakery & asked for kuchen. The lady laughed & said, "Everything here is kuchen!" I don't know recipes, I just buy it when we go to England. DH loves a slice of it with margarine. He does the same to kokosh cake or babka here. It's the closest you can get.
