About the dish

Ostfriesentorte is a traditional cake originating from Ostfriesen. It's made with a combination of sugar, flour, baking powder, eggs, bourbon, vanilla sugar, salt, and a thickening agent. The yolks and whites are separated, and the yolks are then beaten with vanilla sugar, sugar, hot water, flour, thickening agent, baking powder, and salt. The egg whites are then beaten until stiff and folded in with the stock of spirit raisins. The cake is baked, and it's then smeared with a mix of cream, cream stuff, stock of spirit raisins, and spirit raisins in alternating layers. The top is decorated with cream before the cake is served, while the sides can be garnished with chopped almonds.
