First time visiting today and first time having chimney cakes and I'm so glad I did, they were amazing! Both myself and my friend really enjoyed them, especially the cones. If you haven't tried them you really should at least once. The guy who makes them is so lovely too and definitely made us feel welcome. I will definitely be returning again in the future to try the other flavours.
My first visiting Cadar Chimney cakes at The Vaults in Bolton. A lovely little place with the most fantastic member of staff. Everything was made and served fresh...he was a perfectionist making sure everything was neat clean and Instagram worthy :D. He also checked up on us making sure we enjoyed out dessert. Dont forget it's free Coffee with every dessert purchased before 2PM!!! I have already recommended this place to loads of friends and i will definitely be visiting again.
22/06/22: had a lovely Biscoff Chimney Cake this afternoon, but sadly the savoury ham & cheese one wasn't available. Lovely, friendly service, definitely made with love and worth the short wait! An amzing warm doughy inside, crispy outside chimney, filled with good quality ice cream, topped with 2 biscoff bisuits and biscoff sauce!
Chimney cakes, or Kürtőskalács, originated in Hungary a staple of street fairs, carnivals, and open-air markets. A sweet, freshly baked bread coated in butter and cinnamon-sugar. They date all the way back to medieval times, with the first written recipe found in a cookbook from the 1700's.
The name refers to a stovepipe, or kürtő, since the cake is baked in the shape of a hollow cylinder. When it is served warm out of the fire, the steam rising from the cake resembles a hot chimney.
Chimney cakes are made from a sweet yeast dough that is rolled into a long rope and baked around a cylinder/rolling pin. They are coated in melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.
