You're here for the famous honey cake. A glorious confection of ten
airy layers, flavored with burnt honey and topped with a light
dulce de leche cream frosting. It's an impressive cake, but
there's so much more. Wait until you try the Dobos Torta or Plum
Kuchen or Vanilla Cheesecake. Throughout her baking career,
Michelle Polzine of San Francisco's celebrated 20th Century Cafe
has been obsessed with the tortes, strudels, Kipferl, rugelach,
pierogi, blini, and other famous delicacies you might find in a
grand cafe of Vienna or Prague. Now she shares her passion in a
book that doubles as a master class, with over 75 no-fail recipes,
dozens of innovative techniques that bakers of every skill level
will find indispensable (no more cold butter for a perfect tart
shell), and a revelation of ingredients, from lemon verbena to
peach leaves. Many recipes are lightened for contemporary tastes,
and are presented through a California lens—think Nectarine
Strudel or Date-Pistachio Torte. A surprising number are
gluten-free. And all are written with the author's enthusiastic and
singular voice, describing a cake as so good it "will knock your
socks off, and wash and fold them too." Who wouldn't want a slice
of that? With Schlag, of course.
