two pies sitting on top of cooling racks covered in icing and powdered sugar

Kuchen, fresh from the oven. Yum! Once a year or so, when the air is cold and the snow is blowing, I bake a batch of my German Russian grandmother's kuchen. Kuchen, pronounced "kooga", is the food from Grandma's kitchen that I remember best. There was always kuchen at Grandma's house. She baked it at least once a week, and she made eight or ten at a time. Kuchen was usually dessert, but it could also be breakfast or an anytime snack with coffee or milk fresh from the cows. My grandparents…

Dakota version of a popular German custard cake dessert. This recipe was adapted from an article by Jacqueline Dohn Mass describing a recipe from Carol Just, that was itself adapted from a recipe found in “Kochbuch Der Deutschen aus Russland,” a cookbook published in 1968 by the Rugby, ND, Heart of America Chapter of the Germans from Russia Heritage Society (GRHS). My adaptation replaces the sugar with Splenda Blend, and the custard flour with cornstarch. I have also doubled the custard, for…

three pies sitting on top of a cooling rack next to each other in pans

Fair warning... you can make up 6- 8 Kuchen with this recipe. That's a lot. Obviously the recipe is left over from days when you baked once a week, or for a LOT of hungry family members and friends. I made the dough without any changes, but then I cut the dough in half, cut the custard recipe in half, and just baked 3 Kuchen.

three pans filled with baked goods sitting on top of a wooden table

This is my late father's recipe. He did not make it with fruit like a ton of other kuchen recipes that I have seen. Its a cinnamon german coffeecake that he helped sale at my hometown's annual summer festival. He was part of the Knights of St.John and this is the kuchen that they sold every year at the festival. I sometimes drizzle vanilla glaze or icing on the top, but this is my doing and not part of the original recipe. One more thing..this will NOT rise up a lot. It rises only a small…
