Sandkuchen

At G's request, his Mom sent me the recipe for Sandkuchen. G's Grandmother used to bake it when he was a boy...she would always bake a large cake for everyone and a little cake just for him (s-p-o-i-l-e-d!). It's called Sandkuchen, (sand/cake), because the inside of the cake is supposed to look like sand. It reminds me of the taste of yellow sheet cake or birthday cake. Except you don't really need the icing because it's so sweet and buttery - the crunchy outside crust is our favorite part.

What do you think...does the inside look like sand?
