Baumkuchen
This is the sort of exquisite treat you expect to find in a European pastry shop (which, incidentally, is where one of our food editors discovered it in 1975). The name (pronounced bowm-KYOO-kin) roughly translates as tree cake, because when sliced, the layers resemble rings on a crosscut tree.

*Test Kitchen Tip:
The first layers of batter will take longer to broil than the last layers, as the cake grows in height and gets closer to the heat source.
