Lithuanians are not known to have a regular sweet tooth, but when the holidays roll around, they out bake the best. It was difficult to pick one special Lithuanian dessert. Not only is there an overwhelming variety, Lithuanian culture is influenced by so many different regions that it’s hard to know what food is distinctly Lithuanian. However, whatever it is, the Lithuanians definitely know how to make it appetizing.
One that stands out in their holiday selection of cakes, cookies, and sweet rolls is the honey cake. The honey cake is simple, yet remains a classic staple to the holiday spread. Honey cakes are usually dark in color because the honey is boiled and burnt sugar is added to the batter. Sour cream or sour milk is used to make the cake spongy – which gives it that appeal of melting in your mouth. What does it taste like? Honey, of course!
