North Dakota: Kuchen

Introduced by German settlers in the Great Plains, this cake with fruit or custard filling has a few known variations but is well understood to be expected at gatherings in North Dakota. There are about as many variations of Kuchen recipes as there are people that make them, and the dessert can be found at bakeries, in the Kuchen Festival in neighboring South Dakota, or on grandma's kuchen, I mean kitchen table.
