German Bee Sting Cake (Bienenstitch) Kudos Kitchen Style #SummerDessertWeek

Before I started baking, I was a little intimidated to tackle this traditional German cake. Our BFF’s have been to Germany many times over the years, and they’ve spoken so highly of this cake I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to do it justice. Since I was gifting this Bee Sting Cake to them for the many thoughtful acts they’ve done for us in the past, I especially wanted it to be amazing! And, it was!!

Our friends both loved my Kudos Kitchen version and proclaimed it the best Bienenstitch Cake (Bee Sting Cake) they’d ever eaten. Of course, it’s been many years since they’ve been back to Germany so their recollections may not be all that accurate, but I’ll take the compliment, and run with it! LOL
