Zserbó Szelet (Gerbeaud Cake)🇭🇺


🥣 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

  1. Dissolve the yeast in warm milk with 1 tsp sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Add cold butter and rub it into the flour with your fingers until crumbly.
  4. Add the egg and yeast mixture. Knead into a soft, non-sticky dough.
  5. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. Assemble the Layers:

  1. Roll out one portion of dough into a rectangle and place it in a greased or parchment-lined baking pan (approx. 30×20 cm / 12×8 inches).
  2. Spread with apricot jam and sprinkle with a mixture of sugar and ground walnuts.
  3. Repeat with the next two layers: dough → jam → walnut-sugar.
  4. Top with the final dough layer. Prick with a fork.
  5. Let it rise for 30 minutes.

3. Bake:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Cool completely before glazing.

4. Add the Chocolate Glaze:

  1. Melt chocolate with oil or butter in a double boiler or microwave.
  2. Pour over the cooled cake and spread evenly.
  3. Let it set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.

🍰 To Serve:

Cut into small rectangular slices. Tastes even better after a day or two!
