Sandtorte

I love this german cake, because it goes well either with a cold glass of milk as or with a warm cup of tea or coffee, because is tremendously light, because its consistency is plesantly sandy. fFom there its name, which translated would be something like Sand Cake. It doesn't sound very tempting, that's why I rather keep calling it Sandtorte.
