What it is
The tree cake of weddings: a batter dripped onto a rotating spit over open fire, layer by layer, until it becomes a golden, branched tower — hundreds of 'branches' of sweet dough. Ingredients: eggs (dozens), butter, sugar, flour, sour cream, lemon zest, vanilla. Recipe: 1) Beat a rich batter. 2) Fix a wooden spit over the fire; grease. 3) Pour thin streams of batter as it turns; each layer sets and spikes. 4) Build 40+ layers over hours. Serve: sliced horizontally to show the rings, at weddings and Christmas — it keeps for months. Flavor: buttery, eggy, crisp-spined. History: šakotis came through German Baumkuchen and Polish sękacz into Lithuanian celebrations; in 2015 Lithuanian bakers set a world record with a 3.7-metre giant. See also: Cepelinai, Kugelis.
