The French Cake Cooked on a Spit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Among the Pyrenees Mountains in the south of France, there is a group of people that have been keeping up a sweet tooth habit for centuries. The brotherhood of the Gâteau à la broche, or cake on a spit, was first brought to France by Napoleon’s soldiers retreating from battle in Russia. As a reminder that losing isn’t always bad, the soldiers carried the recipe with them after their defeat. Two hundred years later, the French cake tradition keeps on spinning.

I see an alarming amount of people that just learned what a spit is.
Grand Moff Tarkin lighten up. You roast whole pigs on a spit too.
IKR
Grand Moff Tarkin I thought it was saliva.
They meant spik i think
Hello there
'The cake is a reminder that losing isn't always bad.'
Thousands died, but at least we got cake...
*HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS died
Got cake huh? 😏
When life gives you lemons... In this case, cake.
That seems to have been the standard french policy...
Even in cases of starvation it seems.
Let them LITERALLY have cake
...Am I the only one who thought at first that there was one cake, being continuously moved on the spit, for 200 years?
Miles Kwiatek no. That's what I thought too 😂
I thought they spit their saliva into that cake
Me three
Damn, I was disappointed would have been pretty bad ass
you're not the only one
The brotherhood of the Gâteau à la broche looks like a Wes Anderson movie thing
0:15 to 0:18 looks like pure Wes Anderson shots
Wes Anderson got his style of directing from French movies as well as childrens books
this whole video gives off a Wed Anderson vibe
Who is wes andersin?
@@michael4576 He's a director. Try to watch Honest Trailers for Wes Anderson movies
Looks like durian

I think you are overreacting smh
@@pekaah-fz1fp I think you are overreacting smh.
Just going to note: this cake is found all over Europe. We eat it as a traditional Lithuanian cake every year.
What is it like? Is it basically just normal cake?
@@2007Tubes No its a bit crunchier and crumblier. The application means that a lot of air is retained. Basically I grew up with it standing like a tower, and breaking off the pieces.
@@NoliMeTangere1163 oh, fun!
@@NoliMeTangere1163 I'm thinking Caramel Drip
then Chocolate Lava Fountain Drip
on top of the Original Drip
You guys must have been trying so many unique & Awesome Iterations over the Decades!
Yep, called ‘sękacz’ in Poland
Here's a contradiction: "French cake" and "brought it over while retreating from Russia".
Because it probably changed a lot just like croissant originally was inspired by an Austrian cake but now Is completely differ except the shape . You find this phenomenon in every country
Croissants were inspired by a fucking moustache haha
The retreating part makes it French
@@prosaic.7944 If they got beat the shit out of by a 17 y.o girl back to hiding in their island from the rest of europe it would have been called pudding I guess^^
Ever heard of English Tea? Yes, it originates in India, but it was adapted and is now quintessentially English!
We have this kind of "cake" in Lithuania. Except it's called "šakotis" (which it means "tree cake", literally "branchy") and we occasionally eat them on holidays, like Christmas, Easter, birthdays, etc. This spit cake actually originated from Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 16th century and it's most popular traditional spit cake ever.
Come to Lithuania and enjoy this kind of cake because it's sooooooo delicious. XD
There's a Swedish version called Spettekaka
Butent cia sakotis musu.
How do you eat it? Just cutting the little branch and then cutting the middle into pieces? 🤔
for those interested, Ricard is pastis. it's a anise infused liquor popular in Marseille. It's pretty polarizing. it tastes like earthy licorice, and mild caramel. my mom used to give me a shot of it as a kid when i had a headache 😁
What were you in the 1920s?
@@drfudgecookie5800 If your mom ever gave you cough syrup, chances are you got a bit of alcohol as a kid. It's pretty common for french kids to have a tiny bit of alcohol (mostly diluted wine to develop the palate).
@@nickPOPmusic ah the French
when I was with my friend we joked about pastis being patis - fish sauce
yo nice infected mushroom pfp :v
"Loosing isn't always bad"
That's the French motivational slogan right there.
Losing*
win:lose :: tight:loose
Candice ecidnaC actually it’s looosing
The French have a totally badass military history, look it up for yourself.
SURRENDER
chinaboyhere It's losing.

Oh yes, I never could have guessed.
Just got that up rn too and was thinking that too
As someone studying French, the fact that I can pick up on so many words without the subtitles (but they do help) makes me happy

Two years ago lol, didn't noticed that. You must be even better by now !
@@zadouza aaaaaaaa merci beaucoup!!! J’étudie toujours français aujourd’hui, voyez vos commentaire m’avez fait heureux.
(I’m not confident in that at all lol)
@@dime8961 Super, je suis content pour toi , bon courage pour la suite de l'apprentissage 🤗
That's a Lithuanian cake! I ate those in Lithuania, and it was SO excellent, I ate a little too much.
“Sękacz” in Poland, pretty much the same
These are in poland too
People will claim that it originates from their country. Swedes: that's spettekaka. Lithuanians: that's sakotis. Polish: Thats sekacz. Germans: thats baum-kuchen. French: that's spit cake. This concept originates from Greece and was made 300 Before Christ. Oh, don't forget all the japanese tourist filled places, they probably have a cake on a spit with layers as well.
The days of Robloxia thank you for this comment, which sums up what was said in this argument about a cake
The days of Robloxia thank you cake lord 🤝
im not going to trust a roblox player
why don't you say the french name tho? :(
Because it is the same thing as every other thing I mentioned. If you want to know so bad, how about you go and find other names for a spit cake by yourself.
We have loads of those in Lithuania. They're absolutely delicious!
Mama net isiutus atsiunte Link,suprato,kad sako,kad rusiskas receptas😂
Oooh, I thought that the title said:
This cake is made with spit.
Yep looks like grilled Durian for a sec 😂
the testiest cake ever! ;) I live in north-western Poland, and this is our regional cake that we have on every holiday
Answers :
No, spit is not saliva
No its not a durian
No its not spinning for 2 decades nostop
No, 2 decades isnt 2 centuries.
I wonder if non French speakers notice that he's got a Southern accent ?
Kyeboh Oh no we dont
Boris Bach Oh well, he does ! And a very thick one 😀
So ?
JasonJacksonJames I just wonder if people can hear it ? Or if they think he speaks with a regular French accent ! I'm curious 😊
Why?
The French soldiers got the cake's recipe as well as the cakes' structure are originated from Lithuania. The Lithuanian cake-like tall sweets is called Sakotis.
This cake (or a very similar) is also baked in the Swedish region of "Skåne"
Fun story:
I was camping a day and a dude called Raphael tryied to do one of these cakes.
Obviously it wasn't the true recipe but he didn't care, all he wanted was some baked pastry on a stick after all hahaha.
Even if he began at 9am, he finished it at nearly 10pm, it took him all the f-ing day to manually cook-spin his cake...
Moral of the story, hope can be something. After 12 hours of cooking the cake was kinda delicious, and Raphael told to everybody he baked a cake on a campfire in the same way than a giant kebab.
When they said spinning over 200 years I thought it was just one cake that has been worked on for 2 centuries!
looks like it would b good with maple syrup
dank memes The Canadians would later invade France for this recipe, annexing the entire country and naming it French Canada II. When asked about this violation of NATO treaties, the Canadian Prime minister only shrugged his shoulders and said “Sorry about that, eh?”
Not really, its pretty dry
@@flitchhh that's the point, to put syrop on it make it less dry. And yes I know you commented 10 months ago
@@ThatGuy-zu2hi its one of the national food in my country, and its basically made only ou of eggs. Its pretty dry but very sweet. I would never try that
This cake is popular in poland too, but instead of a cone shape its more cylindrical, its called ‚sękacz’
I glanced at the title and thought it said "Fresh cake cooked with spit"
Oh, I miss France. A beautiful country, with wonderful people. One day, I hope to return.
Šakotis. brace yourself Lithuanian comments are coming
Kos Tas as lietuvis ir man patinka šakotis
Edit: tagi sugryztu prie šio komentaro po dviejų metų ir galiu pasakyti
Ne man net tada nepatiko šakotis nezinau kodėl tai parašiau
man irgi patink ir aš esu pusi lietuviškas
Labai skanu
As labai noru Sakotis
Sękacz 😂😂😃😃
Haha it kinda reminds me of a gigantic pinecone😋
*porcupine
AlittleYorkie its literally a cactus
I suppose that the British spat in the cake.
Poro Biscuits really
British tourist in France: *Spits on the cake.* “Complete and utter rubbish!”
That’s not a cake, that’s just a giant cookie.
In Poland, where the recipe originated (among other places), that cake is called 'sękacz'. Quite a treat, gotta say! :)
And here, we see how the magnificent process of the French Cruller was made, and born from sugar, sugar, some more sugar, and eggs, and flour, and a spit, in France.
In Poland we prepare the same cake!
EDIT.
France have the same cake as Poland!
We have this in Lithuania :D
Losing isnt always bad ....what a french thing to say
And here lies the origins of the assasin brotherhood...
And that's the story of how I came to find the weirdest cake I've ever seen
In my country this cake is really common, though? It's even sold in grocery stores.
What is Ur country
I'd like to know ur country to obtain said cake
This cake is also sold in Germany. Its called Baumkuchen.
I meen this channel is just amazing, I just learned something from my own country i have never heared about !
I think it is super cool to share little and great things from all around the world.
The way that it was set up feels like they filmed on a wes Anderson movie
The recipe is already 200 years like the old man, this proofs that vampires do exist.
2:21- see for your self...
Vincent Malab lmaooo
They should have built a semi-cylinder spinning container that collects the bottom drippings and recycle pours it back on top.
only the french would try so hard to preserve a part of their culture gained from retreating.
At first I thought it meant that ONE cake was spinning for 200 years
Ricard = flavored liqueur
...non, non non non, non.
NON !
C'est bien plus que ça, du Ricard.
le ricard c'est de l'absinthe mais version légale
i misread it as "the french cake cooked in spit" and i was like, yup, sounds french enough
What about all that excess batter that falls off when it’s spinning
BURN IT 🔥
Likely they gather and reaply it.
Lorenzo Pagani sounds ashy AF! Thats a wood fire ya kno
PantsB4Squares the cake's not actually over the fire if you look closely they have a tray under the cake too, to catch the batter
The batter is just gathered and re-used
man...i love this channel!!!!!!
This channel is 10/10
The cake have been spinning over 2 decades and it doesn't burn....
Looks like a weapon.
Ilsunny Lo it will be if you put something nasty in it.
That cake looks amazing! What a beautiful tradition!
The wasted cake batter makes me uncomfortable
They are very adorable grandpas.
I red the title as “ The French cake was cooked with Saliva”
I speak a bit of English and from what I can tell you - “broche” doesn’t mean spit it means the little sticks you put meat and vegetables on. I don’t know what they’re called
The old guys are so cute! jUst lOoK AT hIm pLaYinG w/ tHe cAke 😭💖💗
That’s a lot of work and pride and culture and official-ness for such a thin cake that they only make 50 of per-year.
I orobably just tastes like Rum-ed pancakes
The cake is almost the same as Sekacz from Podlasie in north east Poland. The reception is almost the same.
Before I watched the video, I misread the title of it, and I thought it said: "The French Cake That’s Cooked IN Spit". I thought to myself, "That must be quite the cake!" LOL
This cake is actually lithuanian/polish in origin
They stole it from Lithuania! It is called 'Šakotis' in Lithuania and it is their national food!
This is exactly like the traditional "Spettekaga" (Translates to "Cake on a spit') from Scania, in the most southern part of Sweden. Nowhere else in Sweden is this type of cake made.
Do they ship worldwide?
Let me tell you, I can't even find one 100km away from the Pyrénées, let alone outside of France...
In Poland and Lithuania you can find it in every bakery/confectionery, it's traditional polish-lithuania cake. I don't know why they would shoot it in France and not in Poland or Lithuania. They stole our cake mom :(
The perfect Christmas dessert
It looks like a gevar cake made in Rajasthan especially during the month of July and August and September. Only it is fried but this is being cooked on a spit.
That would be a great Christmas eve table center piece adored with edible Christmas balls.
Barber: "So, how would you like your doe?"
"French Cake me"
Barber: "Excellent choice Sonic.
For sure thought that said cooked in spit.
When Napoleon and his troops came through Lithuania on their way to Russia the Grand Duke commissioned the Napoleonic torte to honor him: layers of unleavened crust alternated with sweet butter cream and preserves. RUclips has recipes.
I read "The French Cake That's Cooked on Spit" stupid brain
They also make this cake in Lithuania Poland, Belarus and in Sweden.
Great Big Story: Hey guys let me introduce you a *French Dessert*
Lithuania, Sweden, Germany: *gasp in horror*
I fucking love this fucking channel. How the fuck can a channel this fucking good exist on this fucking platform? Seriously man, What the fuck?
Eww they cook with spi... oooooooh
Losing isn’t always bad....yea I think they would prefer not to have the spit cake but live
With that amount of ingredients I was expecting them to make several
I love how this was filmed like it's a scene in the movie Amelie
It looks like a Christmas tree.
Fill it with fruit, ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate fudge, and chocolate mousse!
You are not alone, my friend.
Now this seems legit after hearing the story of the frogs "retreating".
I thought the cake was made by people spitting on it, so imagine my surprised when the narrator said its been going on for 200 years. Lol 😂 you do learn something everyday 😂😂😂
2:22 what a cute old man😄❤️
At Poland we name this "Sękacz" cuz the cake rods looks like knurs and "sęk" means knur, so Sękacz is Knurr Cake
This would be amazing to have it decorated as a Christmas tree.
Très bien !
we have this in the baltics and poland, called šakotis in lithuania
That is lituanian not french it is called sakotis I live in france I may not have spelled the lithuanian word correctly but some peolple will know what I mean
This could actually make a good ice cream cone too, just patch the upper side and then you could get cake, ice cream, oh and of course, diabetes. All in one.
I want a whole cake sta ding up as a pine tree for a Christmas Dinner
And one big glass of Ricardo milos
It is called "Sakotis" in Lithuania, in English, Sakotis is called tree.
Damn why’d I think they cooked the cake on spit 😂
In Germany we have something similar called Baumkuchen.
However it isnt this spikey, the batter is applied in distinct layers which are more even.
When you cut the Baumkuchen, you can see the concentric rings that are the individual layers of the cake.
It looks like the rings of a tree, this is where it got its name with Baum being German for tree.
Ganz anderes Rezept ☺️ich kenne beides😊.Das ist litauischer Šakotis.Vaumkuchen Rezept ist tatsächlich anders.Firm ähnlich,Rezept nicht☺️hab ne litauische Mama und nen deutschen Papa,daher mein Wissen🥰
i thought they meant the cake has been cooking for 2 centuries and i was like "WHAT THE HECK!!??"
