A few raindrops started so Carmen took us to Sophienkeller, a cellar restaurant that felt like stepping into a storybook. A pig roasting on a spit, dirndl-wearing bakers, and a rotating carousel table greeted us. I couldn’t get over the whole ambience.
Carmen said we had to try Dresden’s famous Eierschecke cake. If we must!
The word “Schecke” apprently comes from the late Middle Ages to describe a tunic with three parts: upper part, belt, and lower part. The cake has three layers, the base (yeast dough or cake), the cheesecake or quark layer, and the custard top. It tasted similar to a cheesecake but lighter.
The German author Erich Kastner said “The Eierschecke is a type of cake which, to the detriment of humanity, has remained unknown to the rest of the world.”
Now that this significant discovery has been published in my blog, humanity is saved!
