Recipe for German Bee Sting Cake – Bienenstich ✪ MyGerman.Recipes

Simple Recipes / Mark Beahm

Bee sting cake or Bienenstich is a German cake made with a sweet yeast dough filled with cream and topped with caramelized honey and almonds. The cake is a study in textures: it is light creamy and crispy. Bee sting cake is richer than sweet with most of the sweetness coming from flower honey.

Don’t be intimidated by the fact that this cake has three different elements. It may be more of a baking project than a last-minute treat but if you give it one element at a time they make for an impressive and satisfying dessert. The pastry cream can be made the day before and the topping is just four ingredients that you have to combine.
