Kuchen

This is a German coffee cake that was handed down from my Grandmother. These freeze very well and can be stacked two to a package with waxed paper between. The prep time is estimated.If you wrap them in saran wrap and then in foil they should stay good indefinately. I have kept them in the freezer for at least 5 months.
