Another recipe from cookbook Recipes for the New Millennium (© 2000, Morris Press), subtitled "A Collection of Recipes from Former and Present Parishioners of Holy Ghost Church, Bethlehem, PA."

Although usually considered a "German" desert, Burgenland had plenty of German cooks that likely made pretty good Kuchen, so we can claim it too. I can see this one with a dusting of cinnamon on top... but the recipe does not call for it... just my taste buds!
