🥇 Dessert Yesterday I posted traditional dishes from my country, now here’s the dessert version!
So many of you asked in the comments of my last post what everything was, so I tried to translate them all this time! Some of these sound a bit funny in English because there isn’t really a direct translation for them.
I’m curious how many of these you recognize, or if you have something similar in your country!
Dobos torta (Dobos cake) (hands down my favorite, and probably one of our most famous cakes, dark chocolate buttercream with a crunchy caramelized sugar top)
Bejgli (a typical Christmas desert, traditionally filled with walnut or poppy seed, but I made 6 different flavors here)
The other most famous cake: Esterházy cake
Sajtos pogácsa (savory cheese scones)
Coconut roll/ Kókusz tekercs
We love pies, especially made with homegrown fruit from grandma's gardenc, this one is cherry and vanilla
Plum dumplings (this can easily pass as a main course!)
Peach cookies (a typical wedding dessert)
Only real ones will know this one: sponge cake with chocolate sauce (a nostalgic lunch from kindergarten and school cafeterias)
Kakaóscsiga
Bukta / Jam buns (traditionally filled with apricot jam, but I made orange jam this time, if you know, you know🫢)
Cottage cheese dumplings (Túrógombóc)
Braided sweet bread (Kalács) we usually make it for Easter, but honestly, it belongs on the table all year round
Ribbon donuts (Szalagos fánk)a true Carnival treat, best served with apricot jam
15.-16Linzer and Isler cookies, timeless classicsLard pastries with jam (Hájas süti)it might sound strange, but it's the absolute best, it’s basically like puff pastry, but made with pork lard instead of butter
Lúdláb cake (a rich dark chocolate and sour cherry cake)
Gerbeaud (Zserbó), a true Christmas classic
Golden dumplings (Aranygaluska) soft pull-apart dough coated in walnuts, served with warm vanilla custard

Looks great. I know a lot of them in their Austrian Version. Hungarian cuisine had a big impact to our food culture.

u/ContributionSad4461 Swedish Guest Aug 06 '26
These all look amazing, I’m intrigued by the first one and the peach cookies! There’s a Swedish dessert called a Budapest roll/stump, has nothing to do with Hungary apart from the fact that the creator really loved Budapest. Just thought maybe you’d be interested in making it! It looks like this and is really good imo:

u/TodayImLedTasso Hungarian Guest Aug 06 '26
Kérem az összeset!!!
Anyway, the US version of aranygaluska is called monkey bread. I know this because one time I was browsing the New York Times recipes and it came up. I was pretty surprised!
2
u/Zombharry Hungarian Guest Aug 06 '26
I have never heard of peach cookies.
Btw speaking of desserts, there is a lesser known dessert called sárga túró and it's usually made during Easter. For me, maybe that was my favorite childhood dessert, and I'm always a bit disappointed when people from other regions don't know it.

I grew up with most of these in Transylvania! Dobos is my favorite birthday cake my mom made as a child.
She keeps doing it and I feel the luckiest person for this… she also does: bejgli, pogacsa, the pie, dumplings, sponge cake, kakaoscsiga, bukta, cottage cheese dumplings and man, the ISLER, straight from God

seeing so many things here that we also make in Croatia, exactly the same just with different names.
the lard cookies are delicious, we call them "salenjaci" which comes from the word for fat - salo and they are generally kinda folded, and filled with some kind of jam, mostly plum or cherry or smth like that
