Wikipedia translate from French: The kougelhopf, of its original Alsatian name, or kouglof, kougelhof, kugelhof, kugelopf, kougelhopf, kugelhopf or kouglouf (in Alsatian (Haut-Rhin) Kugelhupf, in German Gugelhupf, in Lorraine Frankish Fùrmekùche, in Czech Bábovka) is a specialty from Alsace, Austria, the Czech Republic and southern Germany.
It is a raised dough brioche, whose appearance is characteristic because of its mould, which gives it a high shape, grooved and dug in its middle. Kouglof can be sweet, with raisins soaked in rum or kirsch and almonds, or salty, with bacon and nuts. This speciality was for a long time a celebration cake, prepared for many occasions: Christmas, wedding, birth, village feast, etc.. Nowadays, it is rather tasted at breakfast in a sweet version, and as an aperitif in its salty version.
