Berg-und-Tal-Kuchen (uphill and down dale cake)
I would leave the name of the cake in German and offer an explanation in English in brackets. The translation should highlight the unique appearance of this cake - hence the 'uphill and down dale', but there are numerous other ways you could describe it.
I had also toyed with the idea of a "swings and roundabouts cake" - as this cake also has its ups and downs ;-)

Berg und tal kuchen
...also known as Hügelkuchen or Prophetenkuchen. It resembles an undulating landscape - several recipes if you google these names!

: Auch wenn es im Internet häufig falsch geschrieben wird: Korrekt muss es "Berg-und-Tal-Kuchen" heißen.
