The Gypsy's Arm is a light, flexible sponge rolled with fruity jam and aromatic cinnamon, prioritizing a delicate, airy crumb. In contrast, the Gugelhupf is a dense, buttery cake featuring toasted almonds and plump raisins that offer a richer, more substantial chew. While both utilize lemon zest and eggs for structure, the roll relies on cornstarch to maintain its bendability, whereas the Bundt relies on baking powder for the height required to fill its iconic fluted mold.
