Esterházy torta is a Hungarian cake (torte) named after Prince Paul III Anton Esterházy de Galántha (1786–1866), a member of the Esterházy dynasty and diplomat of the Austrian Empire. It was invented by Budapest confectioners in the late 19th century[1] and soon became one of the most famous cakes in the lands of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.[citation needed]

Esterházy torta consists of buttercream spiced with cognacorvanilla, sandwiched between four and five layers of almond meringue (macaron) dough.[2] The torte is iced with a fondant glaze and decorated with a characteristic chocolate striped pattern.[3] There are, however, many different recipe variations. In Hungary, the original almonds have been entirely replaced by walnuts.[4]

Esterházy Schnitten

[edit]

A popular variant,[5] although not in Hungary, are Esterházy Schnitten: while a Torta is always of round shape, Schnitten are made in square shape. Other versions based on sponge cake or decorated with crystallized fruit also exist. Esterházy Schnitten is typically a very sweet cake.[5]
