Cake from a rotisserie?

  Re: (...)
On each episode of The Great British Bake Off, they do a short segment about the history of some kind of baked goods.

For the most recent episode, they presented one of the most curious things I've ever seen: the German Baumkuchen - a tree of a cake that is cooked on a rotisserie.

Although I can't post that video, HERE is a YouTube video that shows it.

Just when you think you've seen everything!

The way the batter is spooned on, the resulting cake has lots of thin layers when sliced. Just amazing and fascinating.

I so wish I could try that right now. What an incredible way of doing that. when it shows the slices going thru the chocolate you can see all the little layers.

I'd very curious to know why this method of cooking cake was started. Seems like it's a time old tradition. And I'm also wondering about the flavor being cooked over an open flame and the sugars caramelizing.

Just fascinating!

Denise, I found a recipe online that creates a similar affect. It's done in a springform pan. It wouldn't be the exact same, but similar. I just googled Baumkuchen.

Ok after all the math and details I'd rather travel and try one authentic. Who's willing to donate to the cause and a detailed review?

Wow, that is something. I'm racking my brain to remember something similar I saw a long time ago in a Cuisine magazine (maybe the 70s or 80s) - the pictures are similar.
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
