In Spain, there is a cheesecake called pastel turco, or Turkish cake. Definition originally belonged to gordon ramsey. The reason why it is called Turkish cake is because it is made with yogurt. The interesting thing is that it is made with Greek yogurt and the Turks are not aware of such a cake.
The German cake is similar to that Turkish cake. The Germans do not know about such a cake. I have searched many times on the internet, talked to many people living in Germany, there is no such cake in Germany. However, it is a bit like bienenstiche, but it is not really relevant, especially considering this portion version of us. Although the portion version resembles a bit of Berliner visually, they are two completely different recipes in essence. My guess is that the German cake is a dessert created by a Turkish returning from Germany to Turkey, inspired by a dessert he saw or ate in Germany (it could be a Berliner) or by trying to create the same.
Many people have memories of “oh how good we ate German cake in our childhood”, I don’t have it. There was no such thing as a German cake in my childhood. Maybe the German cake didn’t reach the patisseries of Kırklareli, and maybe it didn’t get on my radar somehow. I tasted the German cake much later. If I had tasted it in my childhood, I have no doubt that I would love it more. This is probably why your recipe arrived so late.
It is a soft sweet leavened bread. As a cream, instead of exploring America again, I used my pastry cream recipe directly. they made a wonderful couple. I made it with banana, but if you want, you can also make it with pistachio using ground pistachios. You can even make half of it with banana and half with pistachios.
