Traditional Easter Braid (Osterzopf)

This afternoon after discussing with Mama who's doing which cake when, I decided to make a yeast cake - a traditional German one. This version has ground hazelnuts and grated apple as the main ingredients for the filling. The eggs were coloured raw as they bake with the cake.

I know Mama likes a good, fresh baked yeast cake so she took home half. Tomorrow I'll be baking a regular cake but one in the shape of a lamb, the other of a rabbit.

Why not...afterall I've got the forms. Mama will be making an egg shaped one from another form of mine. So Sunday after our lunch, we'll have plenty of cake for dessert. I groan already.

The second photo is one I did last year. No filling in that one.

It's an Easter thing to do ;>D
