Hungarian treat: kurtos kalacs. Also called a chimney cake, for it's chimney-like appearance. Amazingly fun to eat!
I was looking for a good recipe. Now I found it. Good and easy. Delicious!
Thank you! 
You're welcome Clau! 
Well I put 10 gr of salt and 10 gr of cinnamon powder plus all your receipe...no go results...I'm gonna try again
Hi Pierre, hope it works out after the second try! 
hi which yeast you recommended?
dry ?
Hi, yes as you can see in the ingredient picture we used dry yeast. It's also possible to use fresh yeast, but you can use any yeast that's available/you prefer :) 
Thankyou for this recipe! Nice tips, i'm going to test this :)
You're welcome Paula, enjoy! 
I ate these in Transylvania two weeks ago and bought the molds to make them. But the recipe was in Romanian! Thanks for your recipe.
You're welcome Sandra! We ate these in Budapest a few years back ! 
too wet, I had better results when I used one egg
Sometimes it can depend on the size of the eggs, also the way of kneading can influence the way a dough behaves. The result as seen on the pictures is exactly how the recipe is described, using 2 eggs. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you though :) 
I am so happy to see this recipe and great instructions! We have 3 Hungarian students spend the summer with us and would be thrilled to have some. I will try making it this week!
You're welcome Deb! 
My husband and I just visited Budapest and fell in love with the chimney cakes.
How pleased we were to find the molds in the basement of the Central market!
thank you for the recipe. Can't wait to try it!

We also fell in love with the chimney cakes during a visit to Budapest :) How great you found the molds, enjoy making and eating them at home! 
hi
i make this over and over but after cooking my cake is very fragile and broken easily.
what must be i do for a soft chimney?
thanks for your help...
Hi Nora, every oven is different. This might be the culprit, try baking the cake for less time. The outside should be crispy while having a softer inside. Hope this helps you! 
i have convection oven. plan on rolling magazines with foil cover.
since not gas do you think its safe or will mold catch fire?
It will not catch fire, convection oven means it's hot air circulation so not dangerous. We also have a convention oven and no gas :) 
You can use empty beer cans, covered in aluminium foil and well greased. 
Thank you for a lovely recipe and suggestion on tin rolls.
Amazing
Thank you for your lovely comment, have a nice day :)
