Hi Susan,
Wish I could help, but this Ebinger's recipe has not made it
onto the Internet. There is, however, a German Honey Bee Cake.
See the recipe below.

BIENENSTICH
(Honey Bee Cake)
Cake:
3 cups cake flour
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 package active dry yeast
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 egg
powdered sugar
Filling:
1 1/2 cups milk
1 package vanilla pudding
Topping:
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1 1/3 cups sliced almonds
2 tablespoons milk
Mix flour, yeast and sugar, melt butter and mix with lukewarm milk.
Add the egg and beat until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm
place until the dough doubles in size. Punch down dough and place
in a greased 10 inch springform pan. Let rise one more time until
the dough doubles in size. Melt butter in a skillet and add sugar
and let simmer for about 5 minutes or until almonds turn golden
brown; take off the heat and add the milk. Cook for another 5
minutes. Spread it on top of the dough when it is lukewarm. Bake
in a preheated oven at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes. Take out
of the form and cool and cut in two layers. Prepare pudding, let
cool and spread it in between the layers. Sprinkle top with powdered
sugar.
(You can also fill the cake with whipped cream instead of pudding)
