About Bamkuch
Anne presents bamkuch as Luxembourg’s traditional celebration cake and shares her rectangular home version. She describes making this recipe repeatedly for Luxembourg embassy receptions.
Butter, eggs and vanilla enrich the batter, while rum appears in the cake, syrup and icing. Apricot jam alternates with rum syrup between the thin baked layers.
The rectangular cake shows successive browned layers when cut. A pale rum-and-sugar icing covers the top, completing this home presentation of the layered cake.
