Hungarian Fruit Squares🇭🇺

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake Base

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  3. Fold in flour, baking powder, vanilla, and salt gently until smooth.

2. Bake the Base

  1. Line a 9Ă—13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Pour the batter evenly into the pan.
  3. Bake 20–25 minutes, until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool slightly.

3. Add the Filling

  1. Spread fruit jam evenly over the cake base.
  2. Optionally, arrange fresh fruit on top.

4. Add the Topping

  • Either dust with powdered sugar, or spread the sweetened sour cream over the top.

5. Chill and Slice

  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  • Slice into squares and serve.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, brush the cake base with a little fruit juice or simple syrup before spreading the jam.
  • You can also sprinkle a few sliced almonds or coconut on top for texture.

If you want, I can give you a version that uses puff pastry for an even flakier, classic Hungarian style fruit square—super quick and impressive!

Do you want me to share that version?
