In our country (Hungary) it is more of a Christmas cake, as it is a delicious dessert.
Ingredients needed for the Christmas Gerbeaud recipe:
– 35 dkg flour
– 20 dkg butter
– 20 dkg apricot jam
– 20 dkg chopped walnuts
– 10 dkg chocolate
– 5 dkg sugar
– 2 dkg yeast
– 1 egg
– milk
– icing sugar
Crumble the butter with the flour. The yeast should be leavened in a little lukewarm milk. Then to the flour add the yeast, egg, sugar and a little milk if needed. Knead into a mass. Divide the resulting dough into 3 parts. Stretch each of the three into a baking dish. Put the first one in the pan, spread apricot jam on it and sprinkle with icing sugar nuts. Place the second sheet on top and spread the jam on top and sprinkle with the icing sugar. The third sheet is to cover the whole thing. Prick the dough with a fork and leave to rise for 1 hour. Bake in a medium hot oven. When done, coat the still warm dough with melted chocolate. Once the chocolate has hardened, you’re done.
