Few Wrocław bakings found a wider renown and recognition beyond the borders of Silesia. One of them is the Wrocław cake, which Carl Krackhart names in his book "Neues Illustriertes Conditoreibuch" (New Illustrated Cookbook, 1891) under the name Breslauer Kuchen (which in German means The Wrocław Cake). This easy in preparation cake with apple preserve became at the beginning of the 20th century a tasty morsel to the afternoon coffee in many cafés and cake shops of Wrocław.
