Kaiserschmarm

Fröhliche Weihnachten!

Today’s recipe comes from Austria! Hurray! Austria is so pretty and beautiful. Since I <3 it so much I will be posting the recipe for what is probably the most famous sweets in Austria. Today you get Kaiserschmarm! It’s delicious. Of course, Austria is known for its sweets so this is a really sweet recipe. If you don’t like sickly sweet things, I don’t recommend eating it. That being said, if you make it for a Holiday Party it will be the hit of the party. So enjoy!
