Today I'm very pleased to welcome Sofie from
The German Foodie to Oh Cake. I first met Sofie through Foodbuzz but I really got to know her through the
Food Bloggers Network. She has become someone whose
work I admire and whose personality I really enjoy. With
Thom's Austrian parentage he also reads her blog which is
reminiscent of the recipes his mother makes (just say
servierttenknödel to watch a man go weak in the knees). I just love anyone who makes things like
Strawberry Sour Cream Pie. I am very excited about today's recipe that Sofie is graciously sharing with us: not only does it have sour cream (one of my secret favorite indulgences) but I love Thom's stories about his own "Candy Omi" ~ his grandmother who was so named because she always kept a drawer full of candy for visiting grandchildren. I'll let Sofie tell you about Omi Krauth and her zucherkuchen (sugar cake). And when you're done with this luscious treat be sure to visit
Sofie's blog and drool over all the other delicious bites there.
I am an expat German living in Northeast Ohio, and blogging mostly about authentic German food and my own original recipes inspired by German food. Having grown up in the border region with France in a very cosmopolitan city, even for its size, I am also drawn to all sorts of ethnic recipes.
I have been baking ever since I could hold a spoon, and it is my great passion in life. I have somehow always baked. I love to explore and experiment, to create and yes, eat what I have created. I am not just a consummate baker; I like to cook as well, especially seasonally.
