Uncle Béla's Dobostorta is not the original Dobos Torta! The original cream has a much softer, fuller taste. For reasons of cost effectiveness, some raw materials were omitted from it. I only rated it 4 points.
"Túró"-curd is actually sour ricotta. The cow's milk is spontaneously fermented with lactic acid, then the "curd" is extracted with a mild heat treatment. It is separated from the whey by filtration.

In Hungary none of the traditional cakes can compete with "Az őrség zöld aranya" (literally "The green gold of Őrség") that is made from roasted pumpkin seeds, white chocolate mousse and raspberry jelly. This cake won the "Cake of the country" contest a decade ago and its still widely available in the country during holiday season. If you can try this, you will never choose the mentioned cakes again.

In Croatia we have allso the Kremšnite, simular to the kremish and i like it.The other cakes we allso have, becouse the same history together with Austria and Hungary . I have not seen the one with cheese and meranga, you gave a 9 for it, and i think id would be my favorite too.
It s funny in Croatia is the, ,Mađarica,, means hungarian woman, very popular..A femous and rich one is the, , međimurska gibanica, , We like strudels allot, applestrudle and cheese strudel, Dalmatia has their cakes, a simple one are the, , fritulice, , ....you are welcome.😊

hey Fred... a good advice... go to the countryside... to a wee hungarian village... ask an old lady, to prepare a home made chicken soup, next home made mashed potatoe with meat and spinach, some home made hurka, then try home made piskóta, csöröge fánk, tepertős pogácsa.... they are not commercial - they are hidden treasures...

Hi!
Maybe you should go visit other cities in Hungary!At Budapest unfortunately there is a lot of place for tourists, and tourist will never taste the really good ones. I work in a confectionery at Pilisvörösvár, so I can tell you, that cakes were in a horrible condition, not fresh at all, it's bad to see that they serve these cakes for you. So I say that you should give another try for these cakes in other city! And also you should try this year's winner cake and Őrség Zöld Aranya. I love your videos, your personality what you show to the world, your positivity have a good atmosphere, good to watch your videos! Waiting for the part 2! 😊❤

I'm Hungarian and I think you nailed it. These caces are always a bit different zserbó (Nr. 5), Eszterházy (Nr.3) and dobostorta (Nr. 2) can be very dry. These are old school cakes and I think tradition does not allow them to realy shine. Krémes (Nr.1) can be made very cheap, which can tast horrible. You probably had a good one. Rákóczi túrós (Nr.4) is a heavy hitter and deserves 9/10 easely!

If you liked krémes you probably would also like képviselőfánk. I would also recommend kürtőskalács, which is like the dobostotra but without the unnesesery sponge cakes and filling. Just the carramelized top. Rétes, somlói galuska, gundel palacsinta, fánk are also solid choises.

[kattis]

OMG so good. And my favourite place, Szamos, always go to this place ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Krémes and Eszterházy and túros are the best. Good choices Frederik👍

[rapidbonker]

Rákóczi Túros is also my favorite. Thanks to the "túró, it is incredibly smooth and a flavor bomb.

- Yes!

[SimpleLight]

Thanks for visiting and trying our cakes!

[teklarezsu]

You have to go to Karolina cukraszda in Balatonfured and Daubner cukraszda in Budapest. And don’t forget Rakoczi turos!

[Suissemylife]

The answer is yes. Since I moved away from Hungary I miss good pastry and good cakes so much.

[balintkovacs]

In my not inconsiderable cake experience as a Hungarian - sadly also proven by waist size 😅 - the thing about Hungarian cakes and pastry is that you can't always find the best version of it in the capital. Sometimes you actually have to leave Budapest and go out into Hungary :D (For those unable to process sarcasm about the last bit I do not apologize).

[vargaeva]

It depends where you had these cakes. Dobos is not dry and Esterhazy is amazing (you mentioned some sour taste, but probably that cake was not fresh). Zserbo is a classic hungarian cake, lots of family make it for Christmas home made... that should be tested, and I bet that no 4.5 points would be given...

[nanaxxxv]

Rákóczi túrós is one of my all time favorite cakes. I'm glad you gave it a high rating.

[lillahamvas]

Krémes is a type of custard pie, the pastry is between filo and puff pastry. And the filling is fluffier than custard, less dense but just as intense with regards to flavour.

[katalinfleck]

Gundelpalacsinta, Somlói galuska, Gesztenyepüré, Madártej...😊❤

Gerbeaud is a french word the Patisserie shop got the name after the chef and so did the cake except the cake is spelled phonetically according to Hungarian rules so Gerbeaud - zserbó pronounced the same, spelled completely different.
I can also easyly eat about a kilo of it in one sitting, one of my favourites, the apricot jam is devine!
