Sakotis

Also known as ‘tree cake’, this Lithuanian specialty appears at every wedding as well as during Christmas and Easter festivities. In Polish, this cake is known as ‘sekacz’ or ‘senkacz’, and in German, it’s called ‘baumkuchen’. To make this spectacular cake like the one above you need a particular kind of oven, as the batter has to be dripped onto a rotating spit. So, I have altered the recipe so that you can make your own version at home in a regular cake tin, just using the grill.
