Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, caramelize the onions over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the butter and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the onions are golden brown and fragrant.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, breadcrumbs, and eggs. Add the caramelized onions, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until just combined.
3
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9-inch (23cm) springform pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and set.
4
While the cake is baking, prepare the Federweisser glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the Federweisser and a pinch of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the glaze has thickened slightly.
5
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the Federweisser glaze over the top of the cake and sprinkle with fresh thyme. Serve warm and enjoy!
