Easy Gugelhupf Cake with Eierlikör

Eierlikörkuchen is one of the easiest and most rewarding Gugelhupf cakes I have ever made! The Eierlikör or German egg liqueur gives it that richness, warmth, and moistness everyone is looking for in a simple, fluffy coffee cake.

Ingredients

Eierlikörkuchen Batter

Stracciatella Whipped Cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 355° Fahrenheit (180° Celsius).
  • Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla until foamy.
    5 large eggs, 250 grams sugar, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Gradually add in the oil and Eierlikör (and rum if desired – it enhances the flavor of the Eierlikör).
    250 milliliters vegetable oil, 250 milliliters Verpoorten Eierlikör, 1 shot STROH rum
  • Sift together the flour and baking powder, then slowly add to the egg-sugar mixture until incorporated. Don’t overmix the batter.
    250 grams cake flour, 16 grams baking powder
  • Spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray, pour in the batter and place on a baking sheet to keep the cake stable.

  • Bake on the middle rack of your oven for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before turning over and releasing from the pan.
  • You can either eat the cake cooled down completely or still warm.
  • For the whipped cream, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff. Roughly chop up the chocolate and fold into the whipped cream (you could also add chocolate chips). Keep cool in the fridge until ready to serve with your cake.
    240 milliliters heavy whipping cream, 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 60 grams high quality dark chocolate

Notes

Like it extra chocolatey? Add some chocolate chips to your batter!
Like it extra boozy? Fold in some Eierlikör with your finished whipped cream.
