This is the same as the Hungarian "Lecso", a great summer dish. You can make it meatless, or with eggs added too, it's delicious.

Oooh. This was fantastic. It's great to have for breakfast with coffee or tea and is quite filling. Doesn't need frosting or anything of the sort but this isn't a sweet birthday cake! I was a bit nervous that it'd be too sweet when I measured out the sugar but once the batter was ready and it already smelled heavenly I knew this would be good. I used Ghirardelli's cocoa powder and plain old black tea. Didn't have that much hazelnuts at home so I used half walnuts half hazelnuts. The results were a delicious and moist coffee cake. I'll have to learn this recipe by heart.

This was my Mom's staple dish when I was growing up. It's super easy to make and you don't need any fancy ingredients. She used to make it with Hungarian sausage added in between the layers of potatoes, eggs, and sour cream. Where I live now it's hard for me to find Hungarian sausage and I use regular polish or other spicy or cajun sausage to substitute or just leave it out like in this recipe. It still works and my family loves it.
