Kuchen from Karen's
You can eat kuchen anytime of the day. The recipe I use is my grandmother’s recipe (over 100 yrs old) and a Germans from Russia recipe not found in any cookbook. There are many versions of kuchen, but I believe this old recipe is the best!
My kuchen has no added preservatives. I use North Dakota products and fresh fruit when available.

Kuchen is the German word for cake. It is a coffee cake, yet it is sliced like a pie. It is usually made in a pie pan.
It consists of a sweet yeast dough filled with a rich custard (my mother called it dressing). Fruit is added, sometimes a
vegetable and sometimes eaten plain (sugar kuchen).
Newer versions of kuchen consist of nuts and other flavors seldom used in the older version which used the common
fruits. Kuchen was served for special occasions and there is a wedding kuchen version also.
Karen's Kuchens Beginnings: A Coleman cooler, Dodge hatchback van, and a fledgling Farmer’s Market at the C-Store
near the village of Akra, ND provided the backdrop for the first public sale of Karen’s Kuchens. Selling out of the
back of the van was soon replaced by a licensed kitchen and Karen selling kuchen at various shows and celebrations
in Northeast North Dakota, eventually culminating in her becoming an anchor at the Grand Forks Farmer’s Market and the
Pride of Dakota Showcase shows. Retail outlets in ND, SD, and MN abound, and on-line and local sales are available as well.
