Punschkrapfen

Punschkrapfen or Punschkrapferl is a nougat and jam filled sponge cake soaked with rum from Austrian cuisine. Besides the filling, it is similar to the French petit four. Today, one can find Punschkrapfen in most pastry shops and bakeries in Austria and the Czech Republic. It is a cake consisting of either sponge cake or cake crumbs, nougat chocolate and apricot jam. The Cake layers are soaked with rum. The cake is cut into 1-1/2 inch square cubes, covered with so-called Punschglasur (punch icing), a thick pink rum sugar glazing often drizzled with chocolate and a cocktail cherry on top. Nowadays, there are also Punschkrapfen in cylindrical form.
