Punschtorte

Every bakery in Vienna and Budapest makes this heady confection of sponge cake layered with a colorful filling of rum-soaked crumbs. Boozy and indulgent, its pretty-in-pink icing make it a nice dessert for Valentine’s Day. Rest assured that when you serve this, your guests will probably have never had it before, unless they are world travelers.
