Uj'alayi

Uj'alayi, or uj cake when translated from the Mando'a language into Galactic Basic Standard, was a traditional Mandalorian dessert. A flat, dense, and sticky cake, uj'alayi was made using crushed nuts, dried fruits, and a sweet spiced syrup known as uj'ayl. A favorite among Mandalorian soldiers, the extremely sweet-tasting uj cake was a mainstay dessert at Mandalorian meals and get-togethers.

During his years spent on the planet Kamino training clone commandos as a member of the Cuy'val Dar, veteran Mandalorian soldier Kal Skirata had shipments of uj'alayi brought in by clone template and Mand'alor Jango Fett. Skirata shared the uj cake with his clone trainees, and many grew up with a fondness for the dessert. Later, following the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Skirata clan enjoyed uj cake during several clan dinners at their home on Mandalore. A group of Mandalorian supercommandos aboard a Tra'kad-class assault ship also partook of an uj'alayi cake prior to an assault on a Turbulent-class Star Destroyer in 41 ABY.
