This recipe comes from Nagyanyáink Sütötték (This Was Baked By Our Grandmothers’) by Lejtényi-Waldhauser. It is essentially an angel food cake with a coffee-flavored buttercream filling and frosting.
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
6 egg whites, whipped
240 grams sugar
100 grams flour
For the Cream:
250 grams butter
1 whole egg
70 grams sugar
2 tablespoons strong coffee
Sliced almonds
Method:
The Cake: “We are whipping the sugar with the beaten egg whites, and then we are adding the flour,” write the authors. “In a buttered, floured pan, we are baking it. Afterwards, we are [slicing it into two layers] filling it with the cream, and spreading cream on the sides.
The Cream: We are putting the whole egg, the sugar, and the coffee above steam, with a whisk we are beating it into a thick cream. When it is cooled, we are mixing it with the whipped butter. We are pressing the sliced almonds on the sides of the cake.”
