Flódni

A traditional Hungarian-Jewish dessert known as flódni is a layered cake with walnut, apple, plum jam, and poppyseed fillings. The dough is made with flour, salt, sugar, butter, egg yolks, and white wine, while the fillings are enriched with lemon juice, cinnamon, chocolate, white wine, honey, and cloves. Flódni is especially popular during the festive holiday season – some bake it for Hanukkah or Christmas, while others prepare it for New Year’s Eve.
