Funnel Cake is a crispy, airy dessert made by pouring sweetened batter through a funnel in a circular motion into hot oil, then deep-frying until golden and dusting it with powdered sugar. The dish traces back to Pennsylvania Dutch communities, where similar cakes were made in colonial times, but it rose to national fame as a staple at state fairs, carnivals, and theme parks, especially in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the Midwest. It’s now a nostalgic symbol of American festivals.

Common variations include funnel cake with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and strawberries, or cinnamon sugar.
