Baking in German: Cinnamon-Walnut Cake + Recipe & Vocabulary (A2–B1)

Описание: I’m baking a cinnamon-walnut cake in German and explaining the key vocabulary as I go. Follow along, try the recipe, and pick up useful words and pronunciation tips.

What you’ll get:
• Full recipe and step-by-step baking (weights in grams)
• German kitchen vocabulary (Kuchen, Teig, Ei, Mehl, Vanillinzucker, etc.) — with quick pronunciation hints
• A short pronunciation tip for the German “ch” and the diphthong “ei” (real examples inside)

Quick recipe highlights:
• 250 g butter or margarine, 300 g sugar, 350 g flour, 3 eggs, 200 g sour cream.
• Filling: 150 g brown sugar, 125 g chopped walnuts, 1 tsp cinnamon.
• Bake ~60 minutes at 180°C. Let rest 15 minutes, then remove from pan.

Two small examples from the video:
• Kuchen — not “Kuchchen”; use the throaty “ch” (dark vowel environment).
• Eier — spelled “ei” but pronounced like “ai” (so Eier ≈ “ai-er”).

If you enjoyed this, tell me what to cover next — another cake, a pastry, or more pronunciation drills? I read every comment. ❤️

❓ FAQ
Q: How do I pronounce the German “ch” in “Kuchen”?
A: The “ch” after a dark vowel in Kuchen is produced further back in the mouth (throaty), unlike the soft “ich” sound — try the short explanation in the pronunciation section.

Q: What does “Pck.” mean in German recipes?
A: “Pck.” is short for Päckchen (a small packet) — commonly used for things like vanilla sugar.
