baumkuchen
Baumkuchen is a German variety of spit cake. It is a traditional pastry in many countries throughout Europe and is also a popular snack and dessert in Japan. The characteristic rings that appear when sliced resemble tree rings, and give the cake its German name, ''Baumkuchen'', which translates to "tree cake".〔Stanley Cauvain and Linda Young (2001).

==History==
The origins of baumkuchen and where it was first baked are disputed. One theory is that baumkuchen was invented in the German town of Salzwedel, a story the town itself popularizes,〔 and has been made there since at least the 19th century. Another theory suggests it began as a Hungarian wedding cake, which derives from the oldest Hungarian pastry kürtőskalács (chimney cake). In ''Ein neues Kochbuch'' (lit. "A New Cookbook"), the first cookbook written for professional chefs by Marx Rumpolt, there is a recipe for baumkuchen. This publication puts the origin of baumkuchen as far back as 1581, the year the cookbook was first published.〔Alan Davidson and Tom Jaine (2006). ''The Oxford companion to food''. Oxford University Press, USA, 2006. p. 805 ISBN 0192806815.〕 Marx Rumpolt had previously worked as a chef in Hungary and Bohemia. In 1682, a rural medic working for Johann Sigismund Elsholtz prepared a similar dish.
Aside from its more recent history, baumkuchen can trace its roots back to Ancient Greece and then Rome, with the Romans bringing the recipe for baking cakes on logs over an open fire to modern day Germany and the surrounding regions with their conquest of Northern Europe.〔〔
