It's over on my website now. :) PS hope you found someone who speak German. I've been a little out of it lately...

Let cool a little bit, then also add the eggs. Whip thoroughly. Add cocoa, chopped lemon and orange peel, grated nuts, milk. At the end, mix flour and baking powder, sieve into the dough. Smear pieces of the dough onto "Backoblaten" (baking wafers), dough should be finger-thick. Put on a clean baking sheet and bake at "light heat" for about 30 minutes. Immediately after baking, put on icing and sprinkle with sugar. If you know of any source for the candied peeled orange and lemon, please let me know, I've looked for it for ages (I'm a German living in Columbus, and even Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati doesn't have it). All the table- and teaspoons should not be the American ones, but the normal ones from your cutlery. Baking wafers are... hard to explain, but Jungle Jim sells them, google for "Backoblaten" for a picture. A package baking powder is about 1 1/2 tablespoons. The rum aroma is just stuff that some German company sells, substitute for a dash of real rum. Hope that helps - feel free to send me an e-mail if you ever need another translation! Here’s the translation of the first one:
