Words like starchy, heavy, and fattening will come up regularly. If you do a little research about Hungarian food, you’ll start to see some common themes. Their chimney cakes cost 990 Forint (about $3.68), and were by far the best we found in all of our time in Budapest. The best Chimney Cakes we had during our time in Budapest were from Molnar’s Kürtőskalács. After it’s cooked, they’ll roll it in your choice of topping: chocolate, walnut, almond, poppy-seed, vanilla, cinnamon (our fave!), or coconut. Chimney Cakes are made from a sweet dough that is rolled out onto a wooden roller, then rolled in sugar, then either grilled over hot coals or baked in an oven. This dessert was a revelation, and was hands down the best sweet we ate in Budapest. Without further ado, let’s eat! Kürtőskalács (Chimney Cake) If this blog post makes you Hungary (har har), I highly recommend you walk straight to your kitchen and make your own Dobos Torte using this recipe, which is easy to make and guaranteed to impress family and friends. This blog post will be a quick photo tour through the desserts we tried in Budapest.
After all, this is the country where the Dobos Torte was invented.
Hungary is a country with an incredible cake scene – it was like a dream come true for a self-proclaimed cake lover like me. But a very, very, very close second was all the decadent desserts in Budapest.

The main reason we chose Budapest for our last full month-long home in Europe was the huge selection of awesome Airbnb apartments for dirt cheap prices.
