I had this birthday cake - a fruity Windbeuteleltorte - baked for my husband on Sunday and they all tasted great - here is the recipe!
The preparation is simple and fast, but please do not forget that the cake needs 4 hours in the fridge to become firm! Also, do not be afraid of the use of gelatin, even if it would not quite dissolve (which is guaranteed not to happen), then you would not notice that in the red groats. For the cake itself you need 2 packages á 250 g of the mini Sahnewindbeutel. At real there was this á 300 g, so I still had some left for decoration (... and for snacking, ha-ha). Have fun baking!
