Piernik • Gingerbread
Gingerbread is a well-known aromatic cake with a very intense and characteristic taste. It is a little hard and has a dark-brown color. This Polish cake is made from wheat and rye flour, milk, eggs, caramelized sugar and honey. Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, anise and lavender are usually used for adding flavor. In Poland, piernik is sold in a form of a big lump of a cake, or as a package of small cookies usually covered with chocolate and filled with fruit preserves, nut mass or marzipan.
The gingerbread was a traditional cake of Hanseatic cities. Hence it is known not only in Poland, but also in Germany, Netherlands, Russia, and in Scandinavian countries. Piernik became popular in 18th century in Poland and, just like in other countries, it initially was a symbol of prosperity and a high social status. This luxury character of the dessert was a consequence of very high price of spices. Although gingerbread is normally considered a dessert, crumbled piernik is an ingredient of a traditional Old Polish grey sauce.
Kisiel
Kisiel is a sweet, thick fruit dessert. This Polish dessert is usually served hot. However, it is also possible to eat cold kisiel. Kisiel is made with an addition of potato starch which serves as a thickening agent. Although making this Polish dessert on one's own, with use of potato starch, fruit and fruit juice, does not constitute a problem, buying powdered ready-made kisiel is definitely more popular. In Polish stores this dessert is available in many flavors.
Budyn • Pudding
Budyn is a pudding, or blancmange. This Polish dessert is quite similar to kisiel but made of milk instead of water. Polish budyn is also very similar to English sweet puddings. Most often budyn has a vanilla or chocolate taste. This dessert is dished up hot with an addition of juice, fruit, chocolate or toffee icing, or with some nuts and raisins. Some people concoct salted blancmange made from mushrooms or vegetables.
Faworki aka chrust • Angel wings
Polish dessert faworki also appears under names such as chrust or jaworki. It is a traditional Polish delicacy made from a sweet crisp cake in a shape of a bow. Oftentimes faworki are eaten on the last Thursday of the carnival (the so-called tlusty czwartek, which means fat Thursday) and before Ash Wednesday. A lot of yolk is used in the production of the dough. It must be quite well aerated, which requires intensive and long kneading and bumping. Faworki are cut out of a lump and then fried in deep oil.
Babka wielkanocna • Polish easter cake
Baba or babka wielkanocna is a simple Slavic yeast cake dished up during Easter. This dessert is well-known to many Slavs as well as Lithuanians. After baking the cake babka is iced with icing, or with rose or orange water. There are few kinds of babka wielkanocna. A special kind of this Polish cake is a so-called sekacz - a tree cake baked on a rotary spit
Sekacz • Tree cake
Polish sekacz – a tree cake is a sponge cake baked above a flame on a rotary spit. Originally, sekacz was a traditional Tartar cake. Later in history it has become popular on the Polish Eastern Borderlands. Today in Poland, sekacz is recognized by the Poles as a regional specialty of the Podlasie region. This delicious Polish cake can be covered with icing or chocolate, but oftentimes is eaten plain, without any addition or decoration.
The name of this dessert comes from its distinctive appearance. As a result of pouring the spit with layers of dough, the thick layers of this bright cake are striped with some dark and thin layers of scorched cake, which are visible in a cross-section ofthis Polish tree cake. That appearance resembles the growth rings in the trunk of a tree. Polish word sekacz is derived from sek, which means knot.
In our times a tradition of baking various forms of tree cake is preserved in many European countries: Switzerland, France, Romania, Hungary, Lithuania, Sweden, Poland and in central Germany (where it is known as Baumkuchen or Prugelkrapfen). Interestingly enough, this tree cake became one of the favorite cakes in Japan.
