Baumkuchen Deep Cut

10 letters · 1 word · ~2s to type · 59 accepted answers on the sheet

Walk past the supermarket default. We would type Baumkuchen: Deep Cut, +85, 10 letters, about 2 seconds on a keyboard. Do not burn the 25 seconds on Birthday cake, Carrot cake, Cheesecake, or Chocolate cake — those are Plankton. The trench answer is Prinzregententorte (+100), but only take it if you can spell it cold.

Trench spelling, only if you already know it: Prinzregententorte +100
