May have to add to my collection and get a bottle of kirsch or is it kirschschwasser? I do like the idea of a chocolate sponge cake although mixes are pretty good to save time. I'm trying to get the recipe page to load right so I can copy and save it.
I picked up a couple sponge cake recipes on youtube, one from Woodland Bakery which has 2 methods for vanilla. Also Bake Like a Pro has an easy vanilla one but it works better in a 10-inch spring form pan which I happened to have. It would be simple enough to add some melted chocolate in the right amount. Bakers German Chocolate might be just right.
There are some good documentaries on the Trans-Siberian railway; but I haven’t yet found an extended cab-view video.
I was thinking about getting a little Christmas village bundt pan. I wonder how hard it is to get the little “buildings” out of the pan?
