Prinzregententorte

Prinzregententorte is a traditional Bavarian layered cake, named after Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria. It consists of several thin layers of sponge cake, typically seven, symbolizing the seven districts of Bavaria. These layers are filled with a rich chocolate buttercream and are coated with a smooth layer of chocolate glaze. The cake is known for its delicate structure and rich flavor, making it a popular choice for celebrations and special occasions in Bavaria. Although it is often referred to as a torte, it shares characteristics with pastries, including its precise layering and decorative finish.
