Marketing - Food & Drink
German term or phrase: Eisgugelhupf
Taken from a menu:

Rhabarbermousse mit marinierten Beeren und Eisgugelhupf

From looking around online, I have an idea what this looks like - but what on earth would it be called in English?

neutral  Anne-Marie Grant (X): ring cake with ice cream. To me 'ice' suggests icing.

  -> Unterschiedlcihe Schreibweisen gibt es wie Sand im Kuchen. Allein hier nebenan im Elsass mindestens 5.
agree  Kim Metzger: http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-photo_239833.html

  -> Krasser Kuchen! :-P Hier aber offenbar kein ice cream.
agree  beermatt: Ja. Geht kaum anders - jeglicher Verweis auf "cake" wäre falsch. Und die verwirrten Mienen aussereuropäischer Touristen lassen sich wohl in keinem Fall vermeiden, wenn keine lange Erklärung dabei ist.

  -> Außerdem ist Guglhupf so ein lustiges Wort, das bestellt man doch gerne mal, nur um zu gucken.
agree  Lisa Davey: From this recipe (and picture) it looks as if the ice-cream has been made in a Gugelhupf mould - no cake mixture involved http://rezepte.t-online.de/rezepte/eisgugelhupf

  -> Genau. Kein Kuchen, nur Eis.

You might even just translate it with 'ice cream cake', but it's less specific.

  -> Thank you Courtney!
neutral  beermatt: 2 reasons: "bundt cake" is mainly US-oriented. I've asked some Brits - they didn't understand it, neither did I. Also, the recipe you provide contains cake mixture! "Eisgugelhupf" is a type of parfait made in a Gugelhupf mould - nothing to do with cake.
