The traditional German cake called “BIENENSTICH” (bee sting cake) is always good to serve with coffee. It’s topping is a mix of almonds, butter and honey. The cream filling has a vanilla taste to it and the dough is soft and yummy.
I’ve found a good recipe in English for it. Check it out on this blog!
Have you already had a chance to eat a piece of Bienenstich somewhere?

Add the cocoa powder to the second part and then pour it on top of the first part. To mix the dark and the bright dough you can pull a fork through them a couple of times.

Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte - or Black Forest Cake - is probably one of the most famous German cakes. The cake combines cherries, a chocolate dough and lots of whipped cream. Cherry schnaps, the so-called “Kirschwasser” (lit.: cherry water), is also usually added.
Recipes can be found all over the internet. However, I’ve never baked it before, so I cannot recommend any recipe to you. If you know or find a good one - please share with us in the comment section!
