Marbled Gugelhupf

  1. Preheat oven to 170 °C (fan), grease Gugelhupf mould with melted butter.
  2. Separate the eggs. Beat the butter with the egg yolks to a cream, add the icing sugar, stir thoroughly. Flavour with vanilla sugar and grated lemon peel.
  3. Beat egg whites briefly with granulated sugar to form stiff peaks. Mix flour and baking powder, and add half of this together with the milk to the egg yolk mix. Alternately introduce the egg white mix and flour into the yolk mix.
  4. Fill not quite half the mix into the Gugelhupf mould. Use the cocoa powder to darken the colour of the remaining mix, and flavour with a shot of rum if preferred.
  5. Pour the darker mix into the mould and drag a cooking spoon’s handle in waves through the two mixes.
  6. Bake for 50 – 55 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then tip out. Leave to cool and dust with icing sugar.

Tirol Dumplings

Culinary history has always been notable for successfully overcoming political boundaries. For instance, the history of the origins of the Tirol dumpling is in no way restricted to today’s Tirol. Although first recorded in a Tirol cookery book in the 16th century, spicy dumplings had been known fully 400 years earlier in areas of what is now Italy. This is demonstrated by a “fresco with dumplings” in the castle chapel in Hocheppan (Castel d’Appiano). What else but a delicious Tirol dumpling could have inspired the artist in question?

Potato Dumplings with Sheep Cheese

This is made from potato dough mixed with a special kind of sheep cheese – „bryndza“ that tastes best in the so called cottages of shepherds or mountain chalets. The dish is topped by fried bacon lardons and some of the fat. Bryndzové halušky is best eaten with buttermilk or acidified milk. Slovakia can boast a remarkable world curiosity.
