What\u2019s its backstory?&nbsp;<\/h5>\n<p>When I was just out of college and in Germany, I met this young student who was eventually to become my husband. His father was a master baker, and I wanted to impress him with my (very scanty) baking skills. I made chocolate cookies, the kind you roll a ball of dough in powdered sugar before baking. Father-in-law&#8217;s judgment: &#8220;They taste very nice. Don&#8217;t be upset how they look&#8221;!!! So I decided to find a German recipe that would be easy enough for me to manage but still meet his aesthetic standards. Voila!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;I always have the necessary ingredients at home and can whip this cake up in a wink if we have unexpected guests.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h5>Cherry Crumble<\/h5>\n<p><em>Serves 6-8.
