Bismarck oak (also spelled: Bismarck oak ) is a biscuit roll named after the "Reich founder" Bismarck . The Bismarck oak is a specialty of the Saxon-Thuringian art of baking.

In 1937, a Berlin magazine described an artistic decoration of the Bismarck oak (also called tree trunk ): 2-3 cut-out slices of the obliquely cut ends were placed on the tree trunk as knots and the tree rings were marked with cream . Very finely chopped pistachios, green almonds or green succulent were sprinkled over them as moss, and then small red beetles (available in large jam shops) were placed in the moss .

Before the Second World War, the term was known in confectionery circles, it was introduced for a cake-like biscuit in the shape of a tree trunk. The word sign had been in public transport for many years and was therefore regarded as a dial tone . In the GDR times, however, the “anarchist” name for the elongated cake with leaf ornaments was frowned upon and for political reasons was no longer allowed to be used in public, but was replaced by modified names such as oak trunk or just oak . Today the cake Bismarck-Eich e appears again occasionally.

preparation

A biscuit capsule coated with buttercream is rolled up into a trunk . The two ends are cut diagonally and the outside of the roll is thinly coated with a brown (mostly chocolate) buttercream that has been colored with cocoa. With a piping bag with a star insert, the rest of the buttercream is placed lengthways on the roll in strips that are as dense as possible (which should mark the tree trunk bark). Other colored ornaments in the form of leaves and twigs are garnished on the trunk .
