chimney cake

Hollow cylindrical sweet

Chimney cake is a sweet pastry made by wrapping dough around a cylindrical spit, then roasting it over coals or in an oven until golden.

The spiral-wound dough creates a hollow, chimney-like shape.

Often coated in sugar and cinnamon or filled with ice cream, it originated in Hungarian-speaking regions: We grabbed chimney cakes from a street vendor in Budapest.
