Frisian Raisin Teacake
this is the teacake i was always looking for and searched in the wrong direction - i remember a teacake from my childhood and i always thought it was an english fruitcake or similar (which i like) .... and by surprise i came across this traditional frisian cake on a german recipe board. When i made it and had my first bite it i knew it was the cake i remembered so well. It is extra moist, has a very nice lemon fragrance to it and the raisins gives this a special texture and flavor...
Tastes best after 2 days wrapped tightly.... especially nice with a cup of black tea and rock sugar and cream just the way the frisians do... When i was a child my parents owned a cottage a the north sea coast in germany, east frisia, and our neighbors taught us how to drink a propper cup of tea in thin bone china and with the special order as how to fill the cup and all... they had tons of local specialties and food we had to taste they were so friendly.
The lady that took care of our cottage when we were away made wonderful cakes and her frisian new years cookies were a miracle and flavor explosion. She was a farmers wife as most of our neighbors were and she made soemthing out of everythign they produced... she was either in the kitchen, the field or going on her bike delivering newspaper or chatting with a neighbor. She was very nice too us kids and always had a treat ready... The weirdes thing she served her kids were pasta with butter and sugar - we found that completely odd till we ate it... yumm... We used to go and get the milk from down the street with a metal milk can direktly from the cow not pasteurized or anything and we would put the milk in a bowl in the fridge and over night the cream would flood on the surface - that cream was added onto the tea and never was to be stirred... the rock sugar was at the bottom... oh i will never forget those days and teas...
