And surprisingly, it’s really not all that sweet. You would think it would be with 2 1/2 cups of sugar in it, but it’s not. The cake tastes heavenly!! … [read more]  Zupfe is a beautiful braided loaf of bread that’s popular in Switzerland, and I finally got around to making it after wanting to give this bread a try for over a year now.
