Uj'alayi

Uj'alayi, also known as uj cake, was a traditional Mandalorian dessert consumable by Artiodacs. The sticky-sweet brown cake was filled with a variety of cream-colored nuts and dried fruit, and it was infused with a sweet spiced syrup that kept the dense cake moist. A favorite treat among Mandalorians, the recipe for uj cake was handed down from generation to generation. Uj'alayi was served at a number of special occasions, including celebratory victory feasts and clan get-togethers. Mandalorian soldiers reputedly carried pieces of uj'alayi into battle with them, stowed in their armor despite the cake's stickiness.

The Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs came into possession of a recipe for authentic uj'alayi. He would later decline to share the circumstances of that acquisition when he published the recipe titled "Mandalorian uj cake" in his cookbook The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook in 34 ABY.
