Notes About The Poem

Honestly, I don't know the name of this cake, but oh my the fruit inside is to die for! Seems more like a pie. I don't know how it is put together but it is a familial dessert in Germany. "Gut" is good in German & "Deutschland" is Germany.

Berry Gut Cake

B erry tasty; each bite a treat
E specially Deutschland yummy
R eturn for another nutty slice
R egale for my lips and tongue
Y es, all the taste buds stimulate

G o into the local pantry
U se only freshly picked fruits
T ake more than one slice

C an I stay; well at least for now
A m I satisfied; you betcha 
K ingly fare, fresh, and mouthwatering 
E ssential with cup of coffee

Your tasty cake must be one worth sampling, for which I'd be ready to throw caution to the wind, Kim! And, yes, I would definitely need a cup of strong black coffee to go with it :) ~ Happy Easter // paul

Now, I'm curious what it's real name is. I thought it was gut cake, cuz it goes in your gut, or maybe stays on your gut. Well, you got my brain thinking, and my mouth watering, a dangerous combination.

I am told what these dinners and desserts are but it would have to be written down. What I do know is they are delicious! I missed you…you are always missed. Hugs!

I suppose, it can be had as a snack with tea and a dessert after a meal. It sounds delicious, dear Kim. All the Best.
