Marmorkuchen (marble cake) with milk:
Ok the first try wasn´t that pretty but yesterday I got it right. It´s really obvious for me that there is a coincidence that spring started with my two cakes I backed. The biggest mistakes on cake one was too less buttering of the form and not breadcrumbed. I enhanced the recipe a bit due to the size of the cake form:

250g butter
250g sugar
250g flour
4 eggs
3 spoons of real cacao powder for the other half of the dough
1 brief of vanilla sugar
a bit of salt
a bit of baking powder
a bit of rum 

50 minutes on 180 Celsius, thats it! Best served with fresh cooled milk from a farm.

Sunday cake – Mirabellenkuchen mit Schlagsahne:
Marias landlord told us to pick some of the little yellow plums (Mirabellen) in the garden, and so we did. To reach the top of the tree Maria sat onto my shoulders. With our  filled basket we then went to her mother to help us. Leni´s cake recipe for fruit cakes were used – great outcome! Schlagsahne – whipped cream did the rest to make the cake perfect for a sunday (even for a monday but he will not survive the day).

The recipe is:
250 g butter (melted)
250 g sugar
250 g flour
4 eggs

Stir the eggs with the sugar well to build some foam. Mix it with the melted but cooled down butter. Put the fruits on top, around 45 minutes in the oven. Temp? Hmm 170 Celsius in the middle of the oven.
Gently mix the flour in.

Sunday bikeride in the countryside:
We finally hauled ourself onto the bikes and cycled to our favorite Biergarten. I did not take the normal route and showed Maria some new highlights around there. An old ruin of a castle and pond in the forrest. On the way there I also took some images of the heap climbing up the wires. When we finally arrived at the Biergarten we had a cold beer, a Schweizer Wurstsalat and a plumcake with cream for desert. Great afternoon outdoors, not an adventure in the close by mountains but we made the best out of a lazy sunday.
