Spanish term or phrase: pastel de gloria
It´s a dessert (apparently also known as "teta de vaca" or "tetica de monja", but I´d rather steer clear of those options in the translation, for obvious reasons).

So far, I´ve uncovered the following description and recipe, but no existing English translation:

"El pastel de gloria, conocido en distintas comarcas del sureste, en atención a su forma y color, con pintorescos nombres populares como teta de vaca o tetica de monja, es un dulce exquisito de reducido coste y sencilla elaboración, sin dificultad alguna para principiantes."

agree  María T. Vargas: Since it's an Andalusian cake with marzipan, this could be an accurate name

meringue mound on a wafer and marzipan crust


Explanation:
Looking at the recipes it seems to be a big mound of meringue (glory) on a marzipan and yolk base (hell) with wafers underneath.
