Although I'm still enjoying the delights of Italian cuisine, today's example is a Romanian one. A Gugelhupf, Guglhupf or Gugelhopf is a kind of Bundt cake, known in Romanian as guguluf. The cake has made its way into the ovens of many different countries, taking its name with it. This resulted in a dizzying array of spellings: in France alone, it's known as kouglof, kougelhof, kugelhof, kugelopf, kougelhopf, kugelhopf or even kouglouf. In Hungary it's kuglóf, in Croatia kuglof. The cake is also known in Serbia, Macedonia and Russia (куглоф/"kuglof").

This week we're entering the culinary realm for the first time, but not to look at well-known savory German fare like bratwurst or sauerkraut. Some of the Austro-Hungarian empire's fabulous desserts and cakes live on as national specialities in the Balkans. Kremšnite (Croatian) or kremšnita (Slovenian), formerly known as Cremeschnitte, is a case in point.
For those of you who like baking, there's a recipe here. The picture is from ambrokan.blogspot.com. |
