The winners of Hungary’s Cake of the Year have been revealed. Norbert Tóth, a pastry chef from Dunaföldvár, won with his Boldogasszony csipkéje creation. László Gyuris, a pastry chef from Szeged, won Hungary’s Sugar-free Cake of the Year competition, with his Kicsi Gesztenye cake.
The official announcement says that the Hungarian Pastry Industrialists’ National Industry Council had to pick the winning cake out of 31 cakes this year, according to Origo.
The professional judges picked and announced the winner after two rounds.
In this year’s competition, the participants had to bake their creations in front of the judges, who then rated them based on professional aspects.
The winner was thus chosen: Norbert Tóth, from Tóth Pastry Shop in Dunaföldvár, and his cake called Boldogasszony csipkéje.
The talented pastry chef has been to the finale multiple times in the past years and was third place last year.
About the cake
“Boldogasszony csipkéje” is a traditional, folksy name for raspberry. It got its name for its lace-like leaves (csipke means lace in English). It is one of the healthiest fruit – aside from being delicious, it also contains lots of vitamins.
Every layer of the winning cake contains the delicious and very healthy fruit. One cake has over 600 grams of raspberry in it.
Crunchy layer, sponge cake soaked in raspberry juice, raspberry-white chocolate cream, lemon-basil ganache, raspberry marmalade and raspberry meringue form the cake.
