Featured at our Winter's Brewers Dinner in January 2011, Baumkuchen is a traditional German cake often referred to as a "tree cake" due to the very thin layers of cake, which look like rings of a tree when the cake is sliced. The cake was baked a single layer at a time to achieve this effect. Traditionally, this is done on a circular mold, rotating on a spit in an open wood oven.

For the Winter Brewers Dinner, the Baumkuchen was served with raspberry sauce, MacPelican's Scottish Style Ale ice cream wrapped in marsipan and almond glass.
