This Christmas make my German Apple Mulled Wine & Sour Cream Cake – a light vanilla sponge with a rich and smooth sour cream filling and mulled stewed apples.
This German Mulled Wine Apple Sour Cream Cake is a showstopper perfect for the holidays. A traditional German Cake recipe that features a light vanilla sponge filled with a light Christmas spiced sour cream mousse and topped with a layer of mulled stewed apples that are cooked with whole spices and white wine. Such a festive cake.
This is an authentic German holiday cake that my granny used to make for us and now I make it for my family. This recipe requires sour cream for the filling. The original recipe uses a German dairy product called “schmand” which you cannot get in the USA but a mix of creme fraiche and sour cream would be best to get the most authentic flavor. However, if you cannot find creme fraiche where you live sour cream works. A mix of sour cream and creme cheese would also work.
The German mulled wine apple cake tastes best when rested in the fridge overnight.

Diese köstliche Torte mit dieser kunterbunten Familiengeschichte hat noch keinen Kommentar? Skandal! Ich würde ja gerne mal den Harfe spielenden Gefängnisarzt kennen lernen. Es ist nämlich so: Wenn ich groß bin und in meinem mega tollen Haus super hammer viel Platz habe, dann kauf ich mir ne Harfe. Flügel kann schließlich jeder aber Harfe find ich verdammt cool. 😉
Und bis es so weit ist, gönne ich mir gern das ein oder andere Stückchen von deinem kleinen Tortentraum <3
Grüüüße
