The word "Gugel" refers to mountain peak and "hopf" means to jump or leap. The traditional Gugelhupf is aerated with yeast. However, other varieties are aerated by chemical such as baking powder or bicarbonate soda. The hole in the centre assists in the baking process, shortening the time as heat penetration increased. Batter temperature best between 20-24 degree celsius.
