"Cake" is an English equivalent of the Pennsylvania Dutch word "Kucha."

Specifically, the word "Kucha" may refer to one cake or to what could have been one cake but is cut or otherwise formed into many smaller, often bite-sized pieces. In terms of the latter, it actually is the plural form "Kuchen" that one might think should be used, but is not.
