Thanks fo sharing this recipe :) recently I ahve tasted the classic german cake and just looking for the recipe:)
Here's a great decorating idea http://www.heebmagazine.com/articles/view/227
hi...at the end of the recipe, you stated to melt chocolate and butter to drizzle. How much of each do we need?
Also, I just completed everything but the icing... my first try at it did not fair well. I added the vanilla to the mixture while it was heating together. The mixture did not thicken. I supose it was due to adding the vanilla to soon?
Thank you for sharing this recipe and for your helpful advice!

Hi Again..
Question... the picture of the cake that you posted along with the recipe has 4 layers. I just noticed that. However, the recipe that you provided calls for 3 layers. Was this a random picture, or was it a typographical error stating 3 layers as opposed to 4?
Either way, I am sure it will be wonderful.
ps..I will let you how we liked it!
