Making a Lithuanian Tree Cake (Sakotis or Baumkuchen)

Baker Dainius Zalensas of the Lithuanian Club Bakery in Cleveland showed how he makes Lithuanian Tree cakes also called Sakotis or Baumkuchen.

The cake is built layer by layer over a rotisserie.

Linas Johansonas helped explain to the ClevelandPeople.Com Passport Adventurers at the Cleveland Lithuanian Club.  The Passport Adventurers visit traditional ethnic restaurants and showcases the food, culture, history of the country – in this case Lithuania.
