above: Nina Oortman writes, "My favourite small cakes are called "Amerikaner" (Americans) and when I was growing up in Germany in the 80s, these were a must-have for any child's birthday party, whether they were home-made or from the local bakery. I love these cakes, because they have a great fluffy texture, lovely vanilla taste, they are lots of fun to bake (and decorate) and are guaranteed to be adored by both children and grown-ups. As a child, I didn't care much about why they were called "Amerikaner", but when I visited New York City for the first time some years ago, I spotted a very similar kind of small cake – although a lot flatter, bigger and always half icing, half chocolate – in every corner shop and I think they're called "Black-and-white cookies" there. I much prefer making them with different kinds of icing, my favourite being an experimental mix of jam and icing sugar to make pink icing and maybe some hundreds-and-thousands.
