Oma Hartmann’s “Kalter Hund” Chocolate Covered Shortbread Cake, 6.2 oz

A scrumptious Eastern Germany delicacy: “Kalter Hund” (lit: cold dog) is a layered cake made from butter short bread cookies, each surrounded by premium dark chocolate.  Each bite has just the right balance of buttery cookie and chocolate.

You can serve this cake without spending time on baking, with a cup of good tea or coffee. The cake is also known as “Kalte Pracht“ (cold glory), “Kalter Igel“ (cold hedgehog),”Kalte Schnauze” (cold nuzzle) or “Keksmauer“ (cookie wall), because it is served after refrigeration, when the chocolate is still cold.

This cookie cake is made by Vadossi in Radebeul, near Dresden (Saxony).
