A Gugelhupf (also Kugelhupf, Guglhupf, Gugelhopf, pronounced [ˈɡuːɡl̩.hʊp͡f, -hɔp͡f, ˈkuːɡl̩-], and, in France, kouglof [kuɡlɔf], kougelhof, or kougelhopf, in Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia kuglof/куглоф) is a cake traditionally baked in a distinctive ring pan, similar to Bundt cake, but leavened with baker´s yeast.
There are three main types: cocoa; plain with a hint of vanilla and lemon zest; and a marbled combination of the two. It is popular in a wide region of Central Europe particularly in southern Germany, Alsace, Austria, Switzerland, Romania, Croatia, Hungary, Bosnia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, and Poland. In the cuisine of the Pennsylvania Dutch it is known as Deitscher Kuche (German cake).
