Ohhh yes, Ashley — we’re diving into royalty-level Hungarian baking with this one! 🇭🇺🍰
👑 Gerbeaud Cake (Zserbó Szelet)
✨ As featured by Lavender & Macarons ✨
This stunning dessert is a layered walnut and apricot jam cake, blanketed in rich dark chocolate glaze. Named after Emil Gerbeaud, the legendary Swiss-Hungarian confectioner who transformed Budapest’s café scene in the 19th century, Zserbó is elegant, festive, and full of old-world charm.
🍰 What Makes Gerbeaud Cake Special?
- Delicate yeast-leavened dough
- Thin layers of sweet, nutty, jammy filling
- Bittersweet chocolate glaze for that classic cafe-style finish
It’s served in neat little squares, usually around Christmas or Easter, but honestly… it deserves year-round love.
