Hungarian Chimney Cake

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

In a bowl, mix warm milk with yeast and a teaspoon of sugar.
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.


2. Make the Dough

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, eggs, melted butter, and the yeast mixture.
Knead until a smooth dough forms.


3. Let It Rise

Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.


4. Shape the Cake

Roll the dough into long strips.
Wrap the strips around a cylindrical mold (or rolling pin wrapped in foil).


5. Coat with Sugar

Brush with melted butter and roll in sugar (and cinnamon if using).


6. Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and caramelized.


7. Serve

Carefully remove from the mold and serve warm.
