The Frankfurter Kranz (or Frankfurt Crown Cake) is a cake specialty believed to originate from Frankfurt am Main Germany.Preparation starts with the baking of a firm sponge cake in a ring shaped baking tin. The cake is then sliced horizontally to divide it into two or three rings and thick layers of buttercream icing are placed between the rings usually with a layer of red jam (typically strawberry blackcurrant or cherry jam).
