I always wanted to try Wheat Baumkuchen but didn't buy it when the first time i saw this at Toa Payoh until recently i saw another shop at Takashimaya basement 2 selling baumkuchen too.
Eventually i can't restrict by the temptation so i decided to buy one piece and try. I bought the Green tea flavour, $2.50 at Toa Payoh outlet. The wheat baumkuchen is quite dry.
Baumkuchen is a layer cake, literally translates as Tree Cake. It originating in Germany, this pastry is serve for the royal patrons in the past and one baumkuchen is made up of 15-20 layers of batter.
It is similar to our kueh lapis. Both have to bake layer of batter by layer. The different is baumkuchen is a tree and circle shape and kueh lapis is in a square shape. After all i would prefer traditional kueh lapis.
