Hungarian Nut Slices

"This lovely cake has been made by my mom and her dear friend, Toni, for over 5 decades. It is a lovely layered cake/slice, and presents beautifully on buffets. My mom, born and bread in Poland, and Toni, born and bred in Czechoslovakia, grudgingly admit that those "Hahnkees" (Hungarians) really know how to bake. I think this proves them right."

  1. I had some ground nuts in the freezer and was looking for a way to use them when I stumbled upon this recipe. The instructions weren't very specific, which forced me to do a lot of guesswork. Cream the butter with the sugar? Add the sugar slowly to the egg whites? How do I know when it's done?<br/>In the end, I got a very rich, velvety citrus cake on the bottom, a hint of raspberry flavor, and a light, nutty and slightly chocolate-y top. It was a very new flavor combination for me, and so it might take time for my American tastes to warm up to it... Still, it was fun to try something new!
