Reindling is an Austrian cake roll made of yeast dough stuffed with nuts and dried fruits soaked in rum or cognac. Ridingling is prepared for Easter. Traditionally, it was baked in a special round shape called rein or reindl. But today, for baking reindling, they often use a round cake pan with a hole in the middle.
