Spanish term

pastel de gloria

Spanish to English Marketing Cooking / Culinary
It´s a dessert (apparently also known as "teta de vaca" or "tetica de monja", but I´d rather steer clear of those options in the translation, for obvious reasons).

So far, I´ve uncovered the following description and recipe, but no existing English translation:

"El pastel de gloria, conocido en distintas comarcas del sureste, en atención a su forma y color, con pintorescos nombres populares como teta de vaca o tetica de monja, es un dulce exquisito de reducido coste y sencilla elaboración, sin dificultad alguna para principiantes."

Cecilia Gowar Sep 7, 2009:
Since the recipe calls for 2 dozen egg whites (and a layer of marzipan) it seems a bit misleading to use the latter as the name and ignore the gigantic meringue that sits on top. Besides, it is not a cake.

Marzipan glories / Marzipan glory cake

This is just an invented name, as I don´t think there is an exact translation for these.

agree María T. Vargas : Since it's an Andalusian cake with marzipan, this could be an accurate name

agree Elizabeth Joy Pitt de Morales : I like "marzipan glories". These are typical little Christmas pastries (one of my favorites).

Thanks, Elizabeth - I personally can´t stand marzipan :-)
agree Veronica Terry : I would use "Marzipian Gloria Cake" or just Gloria cake (Marzipian).

meringue mound on a wafer and marzipan crust

Looking at the recipes it seems to be a big mound of meringue (glory) on a marzipan and yolk base (hell) with wafers underneath.
