how to say “yeast cake” in Hebrew

 

עוּגַת שְׁמָרִים

 

 
I have a Hungarian-Israeli grandmother. She makes delicious goulash, paprika chicken and other signature Hungarian dishes.
 
But the best of her kitchen is her neighborhood-famous yeast cakeעוּגַת שְׁמָרִים listen and repeat.
 
Broken down:
 
עוּגָה listen and repeat means cake, while עוּגַת listen and repeat means cake of
 
שְׁמָרִים listen and repeat means yeast
 
So עוגת שמרים means literally, cake of yeast.
 
For example:
 
סַבְתָּא שֶׁלִּי מֵכִינָה אֶת עוּגַת הַשְּׁמָרִים הַטּוֹבָה בָּאָרֶץ.
My grandmother makes the best yeast cake in the country.
