kugelhopf

Kugelhopf is a yeast cake from Alsace, generally baked in a tall circular form pan. Originally the pan was made of enameled pottery. The circular shaped loaf is similar to a Bundt cake. Today often a metal pan shaped in this way can be used to make the loaf.It normally contains seedless raisins and kirschwasser and is topped with almonds. It is usually eaten as a breakfast food or at a coffee break.Preparation of the raisins is important to making the cake properly. These may be prepared for adding to the rising dough by pre-soaking the raisins in Kirschwasser. This enlarges and softens the raisins.
