Šakotis
Šakotis is a traditional Lithuanian and Polish dessert, also known as “tree cake” or “branch cake.” It is made by layering batter on a rotating spit over an open fire or hot coals. As the layers cook, they form a tree-like shape. Šakotis is often enjoyed during celebrations and special occasions in Lithuania and Poland.
