Have you ever wondered why the classic Frankfurter Kranz cake is often so heavy and time-consuming? The solution is here: The Sponge Roll Frankfurter Style Thermomix Edition combines the luxurious taste of hazelnut brittle, fine buttercream and fruity cherries in a form that is not only faster but also much airier in taste.
In less than 45 minutes, you create a dessert that visually and taste-wise outshines any pastry chef. Thanks to the precise control of your TM6 or TM5, a cracked sponge is finally a thing of the past. 🚀
In 2026, foodies in the DACH region are searching for "retro revivals" with a modern twist. The Frankfurter Kranz is a classic but often too rich for the modern lifestyle as a heavy cake. This sponge roll is the high-speed alternative. It is perfect for tiered cooking, saves energy through short baking times and can be excellently prepared in a low-sugar variant. Whether for Sunday coffee or as an impressive gift – this recipe is the epitome of efficiency and enjoyment. ☕✨
To achieve the perfect result, observe these three golden rules for the mixing bowl:
The Whipping Guarantee: Always use the butterfly (whisk attachment) for the sponge. The two phases (with and without temperature) ensure that the egg-sugar mixture builds maximum volume – this makes the batter elastic. 🦋
Temperature Check: For the pudding buttercream, the cooled pudding and butter must have the same room temperature. If the butter is too cold, it curdles; if the pudding is too warm, the cream melts. 🌡️
No Sticking: Lightly dust the kitchen towel with sugar before turning the hot sponge onto it. The sugar acts as a spacer and prevents sticking. 🍬
🥚 For the Sponge:
5 eggs (size M)
250 g sugar
5 tbsp warm water
250 g flour (type 405)
1 packet baking powder
🍒 For the Filling & Decoration:
1 jar sour cherries or high-quality cherry jam
150 g hazelnut brittle
500 ml milk & 1 packet vanilla pudding powder
250 g soft butter
Optional: 2 tbsp cherry brandy (for an extra note) 🥃
| Phase | Time/Temp | Setting | Accessory |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whip sponge | 12 min / 37°C | Speed 4 | Butterfly |
| Cook pudding | 8 min / 100°C | Speed 2 | Measuring cup |
| Bake | 10-12 min | 180°C | Oven (middle) |
Can I freeze the roll?
Yes, but without the brittle, as it loses its crunchiness otherwise. Sprinkle fresh after thawing.
Why does my sponge crack when rolling?
Usually it was baked too long. It should still be light and elastic. Rolling while hot is essential for the dough fibers.
Is this recipe also suitable for the TM31?
Absolutely. The filling quantities are identical and safe for the volume of TM31.
How do I best clean the bowl after the buttercream?
Use the prewash mode (fat mode) at 55°C. This perfectly dissolves butter residues.
Is there an alcohol-free version?
The above recipe is alcohol-free. For the classic note, you can drizzle the sponge with some cherry juice instead.
