Gugelhupf studs

GugelhupfstollenGugelhupfstollen

With its delicious flavors, this classic in a powdered guise ensures plenty of Christmas anticipation on the plates of your loved ones as early as the Advent season. Our new interpretation of the Christstollen is just as rich in content as tradition demands, and yet unusual in shape and taste: The combination of the slight spiciness of ginger and the sweetness of apricots and marzipan flatters the palate and is a real enrichment on every Advent coffee table. And the best thing about it: Our Stollen variation does not have to rest for a long time after baking. You can serve it directly after cooling and let it melt on your tongue with pleasure.

Copper mold

For a long time there was no standard recipe for Gugelhupf. It was baked with lots of butter, almonds, lemon or raisins, dusted with powdered sugar or covered with chocolate, if you could afford it. Either way, the Gugelhupf was often baked in such a high mold made of copper, because it is not only beautiful to look at, the material also has excellent baking properties. The exceptional thermal conductivity of copper ensures a balanced distribution of heat during the baking process and keeps the temperature constant. In an energy-saving way, they thus get an even, excellent baking result.

Baking tin canelé copper, 1 piece

Canelés are festive little cakes from the Bordelais region with a soft, almost liquid core inside and a crisp, caramelized coating on the outside. This special coating is only created during baking, and here too the result is better if you use copper molds, because this way the heat of the oven is passed on to the baked goods undiminished. However, in use, note that the copper molds must be greased with a little beeswax or butter before filling the dough.
