🌎🍰 Around The World in 80 Cakes - Hungarian Esterházy Torte 🍰🌎
We are back and we are back with another goodie THANK GOODNESS because I think if I didn’t like another Hungarian bake, I’d be banned from the country.
This reminded me A LOT of the Filipino Sans Rival and I adored that. I hate to say it but this pips that one in terms of flavour and how much of it I wanted to gobble - that custard buttercream is DELISH DELOSH.
It looks more complex to make than it actually is but I managed to make this in about 2 hours. Patience and prep is key and then wearing stretchy pants when you’re eating this is essential.
Who knows if I used a good recipe or whether I’ve committed more heinous crimes but you can find the website in the pinned comments below 👇🏽
The amends I made/suggested tweaks :
• I used 5 x 7 inch tins, as opposed to no tin and 9 inch circles as stated in the recipe. If you go down the tin route, line the base but not the sides (I wish I did this as opposed to lining both)
• I baked the meringue layers for 18 to 20 minutes. You want to be able to peel off the baking paper easily, without the layers being sticky
• You don’t taste the kirsch in the custard buttercream - I would definitely go a splash or two heavier
• Mix up the jam from apricot to cherry? Raspberry even? I also think maybe brushing over some jam on a few layers or adding some fresh fruit would take this up another level
• I added another tbsp of water to the icing and wish I hadn’t as it made it a bit toooo loose. Don’t make that mistake.
• When the recipe says pipe a wheel of chocolate for the icing - this just means pipe a swirl (to avoid mass confusion)
• Feather icing has always been my downfall, don’t worry if yours doesn’t come out super neat, it all gets eaten anyway 🤷🏽♀️
Now just want to confess that there’s not been a day that’s gone by that I haven’t thought about the Danish Dream Cake. That is getting remade IMMEDIATELY.

One of my favorite cakes ever. My great grandmother was an Esterhazy so only a little biased over here! 😉

@rubybhogal I love your insta! I’m constantly saving posts to try myself. I made this recipe today but I ran into an issue: how did you get 5 layers of meringue? I could only get 4 9” diameter layers. And my 4 layers were quite thin so I didn’t have an even distribution of meringue to custard. The meringue layer is to die for. I wish I could have had more. Tips?
