<holidayfyi-glossary slug="baumkuchen"></holidayfyi-glossary>A German layered spit cake whose cross-section reveals concentric rings resembling tree growth rings — the name means 'tree cake' — made by brushing successive layers of batter onto a rotating spit over an open flame until dozens of thin layers build up. Traditionally associated with Christmas and special celebrations in Germany and Austria, baumkuchen has also become extraordinarily popular in Japan as a New Year and gift-giving season treat, with its labour-intensive production making it a symbol of craftsmanship and festive generosity.
