Btw, this is a kind of a cake, that has quite old traditions. I once read that in one of the german chronicles about subjugation of pommerian slavs (perhaps Tietmar? I don’t remember) there’s a passage about a summer ritual.
On the first day of harvest, the village would bring whatever was left from the previous one. Then the women would combine the grain, and make a sękacz out of the combined flour – and try to make it as spiky and massive as possible. When done, the village priest would come and sanctify the cake, and then he would read the future from the shape of it. Especially, if the future harvest will be bountiful – the priest would try to hide behind it, and if the folk could see him, that was a bad omen. But apparently sometimes the sękacz was so big, several people could hide behind it.

Holeeeyy shit you are in for a treat mate. Super good cake but unfortunately really expensive
first of all, its not wood 🙂 second its sekacz or sekotis, a kind of spit cake , very popular in poland and lithuania
Heaven.

its like a honey cake thing its really good
Sękacz. I think it’s impossible or hard to get anywhere out of Poland.
Sękacz of course. Shame it is hard to get even in a specialized sweet shops. Those available in supermarkets have enormously long list of artificial ingredients.
looks a bit like wood from top lol
it’s sękacz
Modern art, I thought it was only a Basel thing.
Type of chimmney cake, by tradition made by pooring liquid dough layer by layer on rotating stake( woth wooden spacer from the metal rod) over fire.
I haven’t eaten it in a long time, but I like it very much.
Sękacz / kołacz, and it’s awesome.
Sękacz cake. Very good with coffee or tea. It’s made with the same recipee as pancakes. Mostly egg + milk + flour.
It’s insane how much eggs you need to bake it. Once, I heard that one of my friend’s mom made one from 400 eggs xD
Omg now I want to eat some sękacz 🤤
You have very generous friends i tell you. This is expensive as hell.
That’s the glory that is sękacz, easily a S+ tier cake, it’s especially popular around the holidays, so it makes sense.
It’s called Sękacz its a tradisional Polish celebration cake☺️
It’s crazy how I’ve never seen this in my life and all the people in the comments know what it is
This? This is the best cake EVER! Just have something to drink with it, warm milk would be good.
PS: Sękacz showered in chocolate is even better!

Sękacz. Delicious
It’s called Sękacz. Pronounced senkatch. It’s a cake traditionally made on south of Poland. I associate it with mountain region but as I read it it’s native to more than one region.
Typical skękacz sometimes called kołacz. You may buy it even on most Polish petrol stations as small piece to coffe to go.
There used to be also Sękacz crunchy pipes filled with sweet creamy pudding. They sell it as bars.
Sękacz 🙌
Sękacz 🙂 i believe it comes from german cuisine
Sękacz!! WARNING: ADICTIVE AS FUUUUUUUCK! 😉
Looks a lot like the German Baumkuchen.
Then again those regions are more intertwined than any side likes to admit now a days. Could be thebsame recepie or a very similar one on both Polish and German sides of the border with absolute impossibility to be certain who really invented it first.

Sękacz
Delicious is what that is
Sękacz
So many childhood memories
The name means “burl cake”
Traditionally this kind of cake was made by pouring dough on a rotating stick over a camp fire.
That’s the way to make it
