The first known written mention of it dates back to 1679, in a handwritten cookbook by a countess. At that time, it was not the sugary, caramelized version we know today, but rather a savory, filled pastry that was baked on a skewer and twisted over an open fire.
Today, the chimney cake is not only part of tradition, but also part of innovation: it is also reinvented with ice cream, filling, chocolate glaze and modern flavors – while preserving its centuries-old roots.
Imagine having a recipe that makes every single chimneycake perfect – crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, sweetly scented and visually appealing!
This is no ordinary recipe. This is a Hungarian specialty that has been perfected over decades, and I am now sharing it with you in the form of a video tutorial!
