Kugelhopf
I finally managed to make a kugelhopf! I bought the mould in Alsace over the summer and it then loitered in my kitchen while I tried to figure out how to temper it before use. After much googling and failing to find anything it finally occurred to me to search in French. Thankfully that worked and soon my precious kugelhopf mould was ready to go! I made it yesterday in my last day of freedom before starting a new job, my first after uni, as a little celebration as I'll have less time to cook now. I wanted to do something that would take me hours, and this filled the need nicely.
See more pics and the recipe over at AnnaintheKitchen. I have big plans for this mould in the future. I have visions of making some kind of cake with a pile of delicious ripe summer fruits in the well in the centre. Yum! In the meantime this kugelhopf is delicious and just about perfect for this cold weather.
