spit cake
Spit cake is a generic term that denotes a variety of European cakes all made in a similar way: layers of dough or batter are deposited, one at a time, onto a tapered cylindrical rotating spit; the dough is baked by an open fire or a special oven, rotisserie-style. Generally, spit cakes are associated with celebrations such as weddings and Christmas. The spit can be dipped in a thin dough, or the dough can be poured or rolled on the spit. This cake group may have originated from Ancient Greek times, around 400 BC, when similar large cakes were prepared on spits for Dionysiac feasts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Kürtőskalács - Similar cakes. )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Kürtőskalács - History )〕
==Preparation techniques==
The cooking process is similar for all the spit cakes: they all consist of a dough applied on a spit which is slowly rotated over an open fire or other heat source. One way of doing this is when the spit is dipped several times in a bowl with liquid dough or the thin dough is poured on spit. Depending on the dough's consistency and the spit's speed, it will form a layer on the spit, and when very runny, it will drop, thus producing small spikes, giving the cake a porcupine-like appearance. The resulting cake consists of many layers of cooked dough, and when cut is shown to consist of rings – hence another name, "tree cake".
Alternatively, the dough is wrapped around the spit as spiral threads. In some varieties of the cake, while they maintain the shape of the spit cake, the rings are actually baked separately and attached to each other with icing. Some spit cakes have a smooth surface. Others, like ''spettekaka'' and ''šakotis'', have an irregular shape.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Kürtőskalács - Similar cakes. )〕
