I make all of the birthday cakes for my colleagues and this was such an interesting request. Not overly sweet, pleasant flavours and textures. If you’re looking for a different kind of cake to make, I highly recommend giving it a shot.
The bananas are tossed in lemon juice, the cake is light, and the whipped cream with dark chocolate shavings is not overly sweet.
I used the recipe from a blog called Kitchen Stories.

Looks and sounds delicious! It was also so nice of you to make for them!
Oh, that looks right up my alley!
That is so unusual to me, but looks fantastic. Going to have to try it!
aw this is so sweet, major kudos!
It looks great! Thanks for sharing. I love learning about novel recipes and treats from other cultures!
If you’re up for trying something new, this cake is a unique blend of light, tangy, and sweett.
That cake looks amazing I’ll have to try making it!
I’m German and we also have this cake, it’s soooo yummy, the perfect spring and summer cake. Creamy and airy, sweet and crumbly, banana-y, soft and just delicious. And the stracciatella cream in the middle, maaan 🤤
I love bananas, so I will definitely be trying this!! Thanks!
I remember my mother made me one of those for my 8th birthday. She got a clay mole statue and had him standing in the middle of the mole cake it was so cute. (I’m german)
I’m German, and I excitedly exclaimed “MAULWURFKUCHEN!!” when I saw the picture. It was a big thing in the late 90s/early 2000s in my neck of the woods. So nice of you to make this for your student, it looks fantastic!
This looks like heaven. I’m definitely trying this. Does the lemon help the bananas not get brown and mushy?
Oh my gosh, I need to try this. For the whipped cream did you just pile it on and shape it by hand? It’s so uniform!
I can’t eat bananas but I love this concept, it looks delicious and gorgeous
We eat it in Poland too! Very easy and delicious
Maulwurfkuchen – major throwback, used to be the epitome of a German/Austrian Birthdaycake in the early 2000s
Thank you for sharing this! I’d never heard of it, but it sounds wonderful – I have my next project.
We have this one here in Romania as a boxed cake and I’ve had it on several occasions. I’ve never had it made from scratch, I bet it tastes even better.
That sounds delicious and really interesting! I can’t wait to try making it.
This looks delightful and what a sweet gesture to make them feel special 💜
Oooooooh 😋
Wow,This Looks Tasty
Nice😍
I’m Polish and I’ve had it before it’s called kopiec kreta here it’s so good and urs looks absolutely amazing!
Looks delicious adventure! Love it <3
As a a German I was delighted to see this! Haven’t thought about this cake in years (I’ve emigrated), but now I’m craving it of course lol. It’s delicious!!
Man, Maulwurfkuchen slaps!!
I’m a professionally trained pastry chef. I can make a lot of real fancy cakes. But when it’s my birthday, I always ask my Mama to make me a Maulwurfkuchen and it’s the best.
