Recipe Of The Week: 'Hungarian Strawberry Cake'
Combine sensual fresh local strawberries with this luscious cake to enjoy a 'Hungarian moment to remember'.

Ingredients:

30 dkg flour
30 dkg sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
10 dkg margarine or butter
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk (2,5 dl)
grated peel and juice of 1 lemon
50 dkg strawberries
5 dkg sliced almonds
butter and flour to coat the pan
powdered sugar for decoration

 

 

Preheat the oven to 140-150ºC.
Wash and drip strawberries, cut up the larger pieces, and lay aside.

Make sure you leave a few strawberries whole, for decoration.
Mix the flour and the baking powder, and coat the pan.

Preparation:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar, then fold in the eggs -- one by one -- the vanilla, the mixed dry ingredients, and the milk. Grate the peel of a lemon into the mixture, then add lemon juice to taste, and mix well.

Pour the batter into a medium sized, pre-coated pan, then distribute the strawberries on the top, and then sprinkle the sliced almond over that. Bake in a preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Cut into squares when cool, sprinkle powdered sugar on top, and decorate the individual slices with strawberries.
... And enjoy!

Hint:

You can replace the strawberries with other fruit of your choice.
The fruit will not sink into the batter, if you dip it into flour beforehand.
And, if you are an almond fan, you can use even 8-10 dkg sliced almonds to go on top.

    Fish soup and Hungarian fish soup – no two the same. Even though Hungary is not a “nation of fishermen” the native fish soup, which is made only from freshwater varieties, is one of the country’s most popular dishes, and is even considered to be a national specialty.
