Valašský frgál

(Valašské frgály)

Also known as vdolek, pecák or lopaták, Valašský frgál is a traditionally made, round-shaped sweet cake with toppings, produced in the Moravian Wallachia region in the south-eastern part of the Czech Republic.


The cake has a diameter of about 30 centimetres and is golden in color when fully baked. On the surface, there is a crumble that can be additionally sprinkled with sugar, cinnamon, and gingerbread crumbs, or drizzled with butter. Nearly half of the finished product (42-48%) consists of the topping, which can be made from dried pears (the most popular variety), jam, fruits, curd cheese, poppy seeds, walnuts, cabbage, kohlrabi, or carrots.


The toppings are never combined. Once the cake is finished, it weighs from 600 to 700 grammes in total and can be sold either fresh or frozen. The recipe for this delicacy dates back to 1826 and is associated with festive occasions such as weddings, Christmas, and Easter.
