Eierschecke

dresdner eierschecke

Eierschecke is a confectionery speciality from saxony and thuringia. it is a layer cake with a base layer of cake, a middle layer of quark cheesecake and a top layer of vanilla custard. parts of it are covered with a glaze made of cream, whole egg, sugar and flour for thickening.[1] the term originates from a piece of men's clothing in the 14th century which was called schecke and was made up of a medium-length tunic with a very tight waistline and was worn with a dusing, a hip belt. the cake was named after this "tripartite garment" (upper part, belt, lower part).
