Tiramisu

Tiramisu from Italy!
My version isn't the original recipe, but I claim that it tastes as good! And especially, if you're in the US, you might not want raw eggs right now... Ingredients:

• 1 lb Mascarpone
• 13 tbsp Eggnog with Alkohol
• 3 tbsp Powdered sugar
• 1 lb Ladyfingers
• 2 cups cold Espresso
• 1 tbsp Cocoa powder

Method:
Mix macarpone, eggnog and powdered sugar. Dip ladyfingers one by one into cold espresso and layer them into a nice container. Top with the mascarpone mixture and repeat 2-3 times, finishing with mascarpone.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Top with cocoa powder just before serving.
Buon Appetito!

German Cabbage Cake - Krautkuchen

Recipe from my mom, typical in the Swabia region around Stuttgart, Germany.
Dough - mix all ingredients together and refrigerate for at least 45min.

• 250 g - 1/2 lb flour
• 120 g - 1/4 lb butter
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 75 ml - 1/3 cup water

For the filling:

• 1 kg - 2 lbs (white) cabbage, finely grated
• 2 tsp oil OR 1/2 lb diced bacon
• 1 tbsp flour
• 300 g - 0.6 lb sour creme
• 3 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• Caraway, salt, pepper to taste
• butter to grease the form

Saute cabbage with the flour in oil or the rendered bacon for 20min. Preheat oven to 200C - 400F. Mix sour creme with the eggs and the extra yolk with the still warm cabbage mixture. Add spices to taste. Roll out the dough and put it into an 11" spring form, forming a nice crust all around. Add the filling and bake for ca. 45min. Enjoy!
