Fondánem

Fondánem is a traditional Hungarian dessert, originating from the region of Transylvania. It is a type of sponge cake, typically made with eggs, flour, sugar, and sometimes a small amount of butter or oil. The cake is baked in a rectangular pan and then soaked in a sweet, creamy mixture made from milk, sugar, and sometimes vanilla or cinnamon. The soaked cake is then rolled up and sliced into thin pieces before being dusted with powdered sugar or cinnamon. Fondánem is often served as a sweet treat after meals, particularly during the holiday season. Its name is derived from the Hungarian word "fondán," which means "sponge." The dessert is known for its light, airy texture and sweet flavor, making it a popular choice for both traditional and modern Hungarian cuisine.
