To trace the history of the bundt cake, we must travel to Austria, where a baked good known as Gugelhupf originated. A “Gugel” was a medieval hood that covered the head and shoulders. The name, therefore, described a headpiece back then. The French found the Gugelhupf so delicious that they adopted the recipe, although they had trouble pronouncing the name. Gugelhupf became “kougelhopf” in French. The Gugelhupf was also baked in a ring-shaped mold.
Around the year 1500, a Gugelhupf was often served at festive occasions in Austria, such as weddings. The Gugelhupf was decorated with flowers, leaves, candles, and seasonal fruit. Eventually, the name was standardized in Viennese cookbooks as a refined, rich cake, flavored with rose water and almonds. The Gugelhupf became so popular that many regional variations emerged.
In the Netherlands, the Gugelhupf was named “tulband” (which means turban), because the baking mold resembled the Arabic head covering. However, the exact time when the bundt cake arrived in the Netherlands is somewhat of a mystery. The oldest known recipe dates back to 1769.
