When I was a child my mother used to make this onion cake in September and October. She received the recipe from a midwife named nurse Helene some 40 years ago.
It is a perfect match for new wine still in fermentation. To make the cake a little lighter I do not make a cake base. If you prefer to have one you can use a pizza dough or a yeast dough.
The spring form cake mold has a diameter of 18 cm (7 in).
