<p>One popular tale recounts that the cake was named in the 15th century when German bakers from the town of Andernach fended off raiding troops by flinging beehives at them. To celebrate their victory, the bakers then created a cake named after their successful defense, using honey as a key ingredient, which was a symbol of their bee-based weaponry.</p><p>Today, the Bee Sting Cake remains a popular dessert in Germany and around the world, known for its unique combination of flavors and textures, and its charming backstory. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional baking and the cultural stories that are carried in recipes passed down through generations.</p>
