🍰 Raspberry Shortcake (Zserbó Style) 🇭🇺


🧁 Instructions:

  1. Make the Dough:
    • In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
    • Cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
    • Add the egg yolks and warm milk, kneading into a soft dough.
    • Divide into 3 or 4 equal portions, wrap, and let rest in the fridge for 30–45 minutes.
  2. Prep Filling:
    • Mix the ground walnuts, sugar, and vanilla. Set aside.
    • If using fresh raspberry puree, simmer slightly to thicken, or just use jam/preserves.
  3. Layer It Up:
    • Roll out one portion of dough to fit a lined rectangular baking pan.
    • Spread a layer of raspberry jam, sprinkle with walnut-sugar mix.
    • Repeat layers, ending with a final dough layer on top.
  4. Bake:
    • Poke the top layer gently with a fork.
    • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes, or until golden.
  5. Add Chocolate Glaze:
    • Melt chocolate and butter together, stir until smooth.
    • Pour over cooled cake and spread evenly.
    • Let set completely before slicing.

✨ Tips:

  • Let the cake rest overnight for best flavor and sliceability.
  • Add fresh raspberries between layers for extra fruitiness.
  • Store in an airtight container for 3–5 days — it gets better with time!
