| German to English translations [PRO] | | German term or phrase: Eierschecke | Um den Messebesuch zu versüßen und als kleiner Vorgeschmack auf die kulinarischen Spezialitäten der sächsichen Metropole erwartet die Messebesucher täglich ein süßes Angebot: Die Dresdner Eierschecke soll Appetit auf Dresden machen.
Can anyone tell me what this speciality is?
TIA, Beth |

I'd leave the original name as is, but it's a type of cake (perhaps cheesecake). I'll try to find a picture of it, but here are some websites I found so far which describe it (briefly).

"a portrait of the author Erich Kästner, a day in the life of a choir member, a lesson in making the cheescake called Eierschecke; in German with English ..."

\"As the candles in the baroque candleholders have become an inch smaller we decided for **Dresdner Eierschecke, a soft, foamy and smooth egg-cheese cake, topped with cinnamon sugar.**\"
Hope all this helps! It\'s making me hungry! :) |
