It is a cake consisting of either
sponge cake or cake crumbs,
nougat chocolate and
apricot jam. The Cake layers are soaked with
rum. The cake is cut into 1-1/2 inch square cubes, covered with so-called Punschglasur (punch icing), a thick pink rum sugar glazing often drizzled with
chocolate and a
cocktail cherry on top. Nowadays, there are also Punschkrapfen in cylindrical form. ==History==
