Layered sweet yeast-dough balls with walnuts and golden raisins.
About Aranygaluska
Asif documents aranygaluska as a Hungarian dessert in Yonit Naftali’s family, served for Simchat Torah. Her mother’s inherited recipe layers small balls of yeast dough with ground walnuts, sugar and golden raisins.
Lemon zest and vanilla flavour the dough, with more vanilla in the walnut mixture. Vegetable oil coats the dough pieces, while sugar also finishes the pan and cake surface.
The closely arranged balls form a crown-like cake with walnut-and-raisin layers between them. Egg glaze completes the top, and the family serves its cake with homemade cherry liqueur.
