The next stop on our international tour of pastry is Eastern Europe.
Chimney cakes (an ancient Transylvanian street food) are made by
wrapping yeast leavened dough around a spool like a ribbon and baking it
in a special rotisserie oven. The cake comes out piping hot and is
rolled in your choice of chocolate, coconut, cinnamon, walnuts, sugar,
or, my favourite, cinnamon. Tug on the top edge and the hollow treat
unravels like a spring with steam rising through the middle.
