Breads & Doughs Round Two

A Gugelhupf or Gugelhopf is a southern German, Austrian, Swiss and Alsatian term for a marble cake or Bundt cake. The part "Gugel-" is a corruption of the Middle High German word Kugel ("ball" or "globe"). The part "-hupf" relates to the verb "hüpfen" (jump) and is a reference to the cake surface going up while being baked.
In Hungary, Croatia, Serbia and western Slovenia the spelling is kuglof, in France kouglof. In Central and Eastern Slovenia it is called kugluh, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia bábovka, and in Poland babka. In Republic of Macedonia the cake is known as "куглоф". In Upper Austria it has a different n name: "Wacker" or "Wacka"
