GERMAN AUTUMN FRUIT KUCHEN



German Autumn Fruit Kuchen image

When plums, nectarines, peaches, pears, and apples are in season, this is one of my favorite coffee cakes to bake. Serve it hot out of the oven for breakfast, brunch, coffee break, or dessert. The kuchen batter is a cross between a pastry and a cake. Tender and delicious, it is made without leavening.
