tipsy cake Explanation: Terribly quaint sounding if you ask me, but " tipsy cake is a sweet dessert cake, made originally of "fresh sponge cakes soaked in good sherry and good brandy." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2016-06-03 08:59:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And if it contains alcohol, we might as well blame those notorious tipplers, the Scots: http://www.rampantscotland.com/recipes/blrecipe_tipsycake.ht... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2016-06-03 09:00:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'm basing my answer on the fact that the Ponche (possibly lexically related to the English drink punch?) I described in the discussion section is a fruity alcohol of the type used in this type of dessert cake. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2016-06-03 09:02:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And 'brazos' are the pc-sanitised version of "brazo de gitano", a roly-poly or jam roll type thing. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2016-06-03 09:02:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam_roly-poly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipsy_cake |

layered rectangle cake Explanation: I do not know a specific name for this kind of "ponche", so I am suggesting a description. You could leave "ponche" and explain between brackets. http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/chocolate-truffle-layer-c... Chocolate Truffle Layer Cake |

[BTW, this version contains whiskey"] This is a Spanish dessert typical from Segovia. It is made with custard, cake and marzipan, all held in place with syrup. (This recipe serves 4) It seems like a lot of work but it's not so hard to make, it will just take a bit of time. PS:As the steps come out disordered, I've listed them. Hope that helps.
