About Schmierkuchen

Schmierkuchen is a traditional German coffee cake, particularly popular in regions like Saxony and Thuringia. This sweet treat is made with a yeast-based dough, topped with a creamy mixture typically consisting of quark or sour cream, eggs, sugar, and butter. Some recipes add a sprinkle of cinnamon or fruit for additional flavor. The cake is baked until golden, creating a soft, fluffy texture paired with a rich, velvety topping. While Schmierkuchen offers a delightful indulgence, it is calorie-dense due to its use of butter and sugar, making it a dessert best enjoyed in moderation. On the positive side, the inclusion of quark or sour cream provides some protein and calcium. Often served alongside coffee or tea, Schmierkuchen is a symbol of Germany’s baking tradition and communal coffee gatherings known as "Kaffeeklatsch." Its comforting sweetness has made it a cherished recipe passed down through generations.
