The name is not spelled correctly. The "Gugel" part does not conform to any word in German, and the "hupf" part should be "hopf". Mfields1 09:28, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not really: de:Gugelhupf. --85.180.233.163 21:33, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would you elaborate on the comment "not really"? Please show me the German word for "Gugel" and "hupf" translated to English. I really want to know these.

Kugelhopf yields 24,500 hits on google and Gugelhupf will give 16,200 (English only). I agree Gugelhupf is more frequently used in German but for English Kugelhopf should be used. Mfields1 09:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in Upper Austria at the moment, and no-one I've talked to has heard either of the terms "Wacker" or "Wacka". Is there any source for this? Dmorti (talk) 20:40, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

The German version of this article provides different sources for the name. There it is said that "Gugel" means (from gugel(e)) "Hood" (Latin cuculla) and "Hupf" means yeast (German Hefe). Kakila (talk) 07:54, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Gugelhupf used in Germany too

I’m from Germany, have lived all through western Germany, and the only name I ever head it being called, is “Gugelhupf”. I’ve never even heard of the other two names. So it is definitely wrong, that Germany would not use that word and only the others.

While the shape of a Gugelhupf is similar to that of a Napfkuchen or Bundt cake, Napfkuchen and Bundkuchen are not the name used for a Gugelhupf in the rest of Germany. One of the main features of a Gugelhupf is that its raising agent is yeast. The raising agent for a Napfkuchen is usually baking powder/ baking soda and/ or beaten eggs. Because of this the end results are distinctly different in texture and taste. Hence, the alternative names 'Napfkuchen' and 'Bundkuchen' should be removed from the Article. As to the name Gugelhupf, there is no translation of Gugel and Hupf into English because the word is derived from the Alemannic, which is a group of German dialects spoken in Southwest Germany, Switzerland and Austria. For anyone interested in how that looks in writing, there is an Alemannic edition of Wikipedia.Black Forest Girl (talk) 09:59, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
