【No. 0094】Baumkuchen
Mar 22, 2015 20:26
Today, I ate a slice of Baumkuchen that is my junior's souvenir.
Baumkuchen is a cake that originated in Germany, balm means a tree, and kuchen means a cake.
Also, Baumkuchen has two etymologies.
One is that it had been baked while entwining soft doughs and a stick of oak trees.
The other is that a cross-section of this cake looks like tree rings.
Baumkuchen is very famous as a German cake in Japan, and we often use Baumkuchen as a gift of wedding etc.
However, I heard Baumkuchen is not very famous in Germany.
Someday, I'd like to eat Baumkuchen that are sold in Dusseldorf, Germany.

今日は、後輩がおみやげにくれたバームクーヘンを食べました。
バームクーヘンはドイツ発祥のケーキで、バームは木を、クーヘンはお菓子を意味します。
また、この名前には2つの語源説があります。
一つは、柔らかく練った生地を樫の木の棒に絡ませて焼いたから、というものです。
もう一つは、このお菓子の切り口が木の年輪のように見えるから、というものです。
バウムクーヘンは日本ではドイツの菓子としてとてもメジャーであり、よく結婚式などの贈り物などとして使われますが、本場のドイツではあまり有名ではないようです。
一度、ドイツのデュッセルドルフで売られているバームクーヘンを食べてみたいです。

"Sticks" from trees are considered to be rather small--thin and not very long. I've seen the traditional method of making Baumkuchen and the poles were rather large.

Another well written entry!
I tried Baumkuchen for the first time last month. It was made in Japan and I bought it at a supermarket that specializes in Asian foods. It was very good. :)

That's great! Since we think tree rings bring us good fortune (tree rings imply long life), we may be making so many Baumkuchen, haha. However, I heard there are big differences between German Baumkuchen and Japanese Baumkuchen. I want to eat real Baumkuchen someday.
