Ironically I'm french but I was aware of the tredelnik and the baumkuchen but not this one

Never tried it, but apparently it's not that good. Like, super dry, and very basic taste.

I never thought I'd see the traditional cake from the region I grew up in on the HN frontpage :)

The magic taste happens when the batter is exposed to air and heat through the gradual builds of layers?

It's not a french cake, it's been brought to france

This looks like Baumkuchen, must be relative of sorts
