A delicious treat from the South of Austria

The Reindling cake has a long-standing tradition in Austria's southernmost state Carinthia. A good Reindling is moist, sweet, and prepared with a generous amount of sugar and cinnamon. But what is an absolute must in a Reindling? Raisins! And they taste the best when soaked in STROH.
