Kürtös Cake in the USA

Originally, she wanted to show her twins the Hungarian heritage, that was the reason she started cooking cakes at home. Later, she launched her business called Kurtos Inc. in August.

Sarasota Magazine published the short history and the preparation of the sweet as well: “Kürtös cakes originated in Transylvania in the late 1700s. To make them, Gulyás had to import a special oven from Hungary, which bakes the cakes at 250 degrees Celsius. She wraps fresh, raised dough around a wooden pin, sprinkles it with toppings and then inserts the pin in the oven, where it turns slowly for 4 to 6 minutes” until the surface is crispy and the inside is still soft — as Aniko Gulyás says. The pin is removed after the cake cooled, that is why Kürtös Cake is shaped cylindrical.
