The oroginal "ischler"

"Ischler" or "isler" is a very popular "cake" in Hungary, but it originates from Austria. This cake is named after the town of Bad Ischl., because in 1849 Karl Franz's son, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria chose this town for his summer residence and at the first time here was prepared this delicious cake for him, which later had become one of his favorite dessert.

 

My parents'd spent a few days in Bad Isch and they brought us original ischler cake from the original home of ischler :)
