What are Yasaburo and Professor eating in episode 9?

What are these huge donut-like things the characters are eating in the office? From the distance it looks like cylindrical donuts, but a closer look shows it's some sort of puff roll cake. I understand that the size is greatly exaggerated, but what kind of pastry is this? (click images for full resolution) This is from the episode 9. I remember this site had an event recently where the users were proposed to watch and then discuss this episode...

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

To me, it looks like Baumkuchen , a german cake.
