Magdalenas Chimney Cakes is a food truck specializing in authentic, freshly baked, handmade chimney cakes!

My grandma Magda had a street food stand (the OG food truck) where she sold chimney cakes and other Hungarian classics in the 1970s.   When I decided that American’s should get a chance to taste the deliciousness that is Hungarian food, she passed along her recipes (and business advice), and the rest is history!

Kürtőskalács (pronounced kurtush kalach) is made from sweet, yeast dough, of which a strip is spun and then wrapped around a baking spit, and rolled in granulated sugar. It is roasted over an open flame until its surface cooks to a golden-brown color. During the baking process the sugar stuck on the kürtőskalács caramelizes and forms a shiny, crispy crust. The surface of the cake can then be topped with additional ingredients and following the latest trend, the hollow inside can be filled with ice cream!
