mutti wo ist blechkuchenranking
You always want to take... but you never want to give. But I guess I am your dance monkey. What is a Blechkuchen? A flat Kuchen baked on a Blech, next.
Donauwelle
The ultimate Blechkuchen. The queen of Blechkuchen. Name a better Blechkuchen, you can't. Chocolate... a sexy cherry... cream... the wave. Perfection. A balanced Blechkuchen, which is rare. If I had to eat a Blechkuchen, which, any other type of cake is much preferred, it would be a Donauwelle. 10/10
Zwetschgenkuchen/datschi
I've grouped the other Obst-varieties of Blechkuchen together because, naturally, those exist in non-Blechkuchen forms, too. Zwetschgenkuchen also exists in a normal Kuchenform-form. However... Zwetschgenkuchen MILES above all other Obst-Blechkuchen. They hate to see me be correct. 8.5/10. Or 9/10 mit Streuseln (und Sahne).
Any Blechkuchen-Version of some Obstkuchen, e.g. Apfelkuchen, Rhabarberkuchen, Beerenkuchen, etc.
I'm not punched from the stool but it's fine, it's a classic. It's above the Butterkuchen because of the fruit component. Makes it more exciting, at least a little bit. I don't know what it is about Blechkuchen that makes me less excited than if the cake were to be in its organic normal form. The eye eats with, I guess. 7/10
Streuselkuchen
This one ranks this high not because it's particularly good. It's because Streusel are fantastic. But Streusekuchen as a whole NEEDS fruit, preferably a berry-esque fruit. Otherwise I'm just picking off the Streusel and leaving the rest, like a child. 6.5/10
Zitronenkuchen
We're getting into absolute dry-cake territorium and I'm just not into it. I'm counting Zitronenkuchen as a Blechkuchen because... might as well. Marmorkuchen never a Blechkuchen, Zitronenkuchen can be a Blechkuchen - and it remains equally as unexciting. Never met a person absolutely exhilariated about some Zitronenkuchen. 6/10
Fantakuchen
I guess kids like it... it's like a Zitronenkuchen, sometimes with Schmandcreme on top... sometimes without. Another dry-cake, no fruit. 5/10
Schmandkuchen (mit Mandarinen)
Mandarinen on their own? Yes. Mandarinen in a cake? Absolutely not. They're used to undry a dry ass cake and it's not working for me. Rather Mandarinen than Rosinen but preferably neither. Schmandkuchen... girl... it's whatever. 4.5/10
Butterkuchen
...................the NRW of Blechkuchen................. 2/10
Bienenstich
I'm doubling down, babes. You thought I wouldn't but I will. I'd rather eat 10 Butterkuchen than 1 Bienenstich. The crust on top... no. The huge amount of cream... no. I'll repeat myself but this tastes like the color beige. A cake like this NEEDS some contrast, some fruit - but it hasn't. And that's on her. 0/10
Kuchen of the Blech-variety I'm not including but wanna give a honorable mention to:
