Kougelhopf (also called Gugelhupf, Guglhupf or Gugelhopf) is a southern German, Austrian, Swiss and Alsatian marble cake or Bundt cake. It is a big cake and has a distinctive ring shape or the shape of a torus. It is baked in a special circular pan with a central tube, originally made of enamelled pottery. The cake consists of a soft yeast dough which contains raisins, almonds and Kirschwasser cherry brandy. Some also contain candied fruits and nuts.
