As I've mentioned, I'm working on a book about modifying recipes to fit your needs.  For chapter 5, how to make a recipe cheaper, I'm going to talk about an Austrian cake made from crumbs rather than flour.  I've been making it since 1969, when Marcia Colman Morton's immortal The Art of Viennese Pastry (Doubleday) was published.  For my book, I'm trying to use modern sources.

So I'm looking for a recipe for besoffene (or besoffener) kapuziner (drunk monks) published in a printed cookbook in English from no earlier than the year 2000.

Help?  I'll bake one in a V-8 can and mail it to you if you can point me in the right direction.

There is a book called Besoffene Kapuziner by Christa Fuchs & Gudrun Harrer ISBN 9783854761686 but unfortunately it is in German - it was published in November 2005.  It is available through the German amazon site.

Obviously you have searched EYB without success - hopefully someone will have it in an unindexed English book that they can recommend to you.
