Bienenstich
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
Bienenstich (Bee Sting) is an old German cake that is sweet and delicious. The original recipe calls for vanilla sugar but it's hard to find here so I just use vanilla extract. Also - you cannot substitute margarine for the butter. There are various versions of the filling for this recipe. To make things easier I cheat and use vanilla pudding mix made with whipping cream and beaten until light.
