Esterházy cake on sale at MuffinTaffin

In November, MuffinTaffin in Budva, Montenegro keeps Esterházy cake on the counter for guests who want a nutty slice with coffee.

The cake took its name from the Hungarian Esterházy family and spread as thin almond meringue layers with buttercream.

How we build and serve it

We bake pale almond layers, spread a light buttercream between them, and finish the top with the familiar chocolate web.

Orders for whole cakes sit beside everyday sales of slices, so a table in Budva can take the same dessert home.

If you are comparing cakes this season, ask for Esterházy when you place orders; we cut it cold so the layers stay even.
