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  .
 
Broken down:
 
עוּגָה  means cake, while עוּגַת  means cake of
 
שְׁמָרִים  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.
