Two people have already told you that it is, and you have been given links to English-language sites about baumkuchen. How many reposonses do you need?

When a recipe is a specialty from another country, we use its foreign-word name.
If the recipe becomes very popular, it might acquire one or more English names. An example is the German dessert cake Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.
