Donauwellen Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together and add eggs, one at a time, beating well; add vanilla. Add the flour mixed with baking powder and mix. Beat in enough milk to make the dough spreadable (brownie batter consistency). Pour half the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
• 2. Mix the other half with the cocoa powder and about 1 Tbsp. milk so that the batter stays the same consistency. Smooth over the top of white batter. Swirl a bit for a wavy effect.
• 3. Drop the drained, pitted cherries evenly over the top of the batter. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 35 minutes. Cool completely in the pan.
• 4. While the cake is cooling, start the pudding according to package directions, using two cups of milk. Cover the pan and let the pudding cool completely to room temperature.
• 5. Beat the softened butter with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. The pudding and the butter must be the same temperature or the emulsion you are creating will not work.
• 6. Mix the pudding by the spoonful into the butter mixture and whip until light and fluffy. Spread over the cooled cake.
• 7. Melt the chocolate on the stove. Mix it with the powdered sugar and add hot water to create a spreadable frosting. Spread on top of the butter cream. Refrigerate cake until ready to serve.
• 8. Cut with a wet knife and wipe off between cuts.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
• Sift together the flour and baking powder in a bowl; set aside. Beat 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons margarine with an electric mixer in a large bowl until fluffy. Beat in the white sugar, vanilla extract, and 5 egg yolks. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
• Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter, keeping as much volume as possible. Add the remaining egg whites, folding just until incorporated.
• Pour half of the batter into a separate bowl. Sift the cocoa powder into one bowl of batter. Stir until just combined. Pour the white batter into the prepared baking dish, then spread the chocolate batter over. Arrange the tart cherries on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
• To make the buttercream, beat 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons margarine, confectioners' sugar, rum, and 2 egg yolks until light and fluffy. Spread over cooled cake. Refrigerate cake until ready to serve.
