Title: About Lithuanian Holiday Cakes
Categories: Lithuanian, Cakes, Holiday, Info
Yield: 4 servings
Cakes
Lithuanian people do not have a sweet tooth. Baked goods and sweets
are not a part of daily eating. However each homemaker does her very
best to be creative and to pamper the family especially during
holidays and special occasions. Formerly, for holidays and weddings
a variety of cakes, cookies and sweet rolls was baked. Tables were
laden with beautifully decorated, delicious masterpieces. At wedding
receptions, all eyes would be on the ''karvojus'', a large wedding
tart which was decorated with a variety of dough birds and animals.
Earlier all cakes and dainties were baked by the homemaker herself
or a person, famous for her culinary prowess would be hired.
At the beginning of this century, many new foods came to Lithuania,
among them tortes and the famous baumkuchen from Germany, which now
is a must for every special occasion.
Today Lithuanian homemakers have many recipes for all occasions.
Most popular baked goods are made commercially from recipes based on
traditional and newly arrived sweets.
However, the most appreciated baked goods are homemade and for this
reason each homemaker is intent on creating recipes which will awe
everyone and will please her family.

Title: About Lithuanian Holiday Honey Cakes

Yield: 4 servings
Honey
Cakes
Honey cakes are made with honey. They must be of a dark color, which
is obtained when honey is boiled or by adding burnt sugar to the
batter. Sour cream or sour milk are used to give sponginess to honey
cakes and baking soda is used as a leavening agent. The taste of
honey cakes depends on quantity and assortment of flavorings used.
The seasonings used most often and quantities are: 2 tablespoons
ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons ground allspice, 4 teaspoons ground
cloves, 1 tablespoon powdered orange peel and 4 teaspoons ground
ginger.
The special quality of honey cakes is that they taste better when
aged.
