Did you ever get a simple recipe for Sakotis? We are doing a project on ancestors and my son has chosen Lithuania. We are in the United States. We would like to bring Sakotis to share with the class. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Here is a recipe I have found, small problem, you will need an special oven as šakotis is baked on a spit, hence the hole in the middle.

Sekmes! :)

50 eggs;

1250 g butter;

1250 g flour;

800 g sugar;

10 g lemon essence;

6 glasses cream (20 % fat);

100 g cognac.

Beat the butter and sugar into a smooth paste. While stirring, add 1-2 eggs at a time until all eggs are used. Add the flour and lemon essence, then the cream and cognac. Beat the paste to a very smooth consistency

Bake šakotis in a special oven dripping the pastry slowly onto the rotating stick.

Is there another word in Lithuanian that is used for this cake?

The other name for this cake is raguolis. I might be off on the spelling. There are some utube videos of baking process that can be found by searching either word; raguolis or sakotis.
