Somlói galuska (or Hungarian trifle) is one of my favorite Hungarian dessert. It’s made with three types of sponge cake (simple, walnuts, cocoa) chocolate filling and whipped cream.


My version has less sugar and fat than the usual recipes, but it’s definitely the best I’ve ever tried! I think the other thing that makes it so good is the quality of the ingredients I use.

Enjoy!

Ingredients
to 8-10 servings

for the 3 types of Sponge cake (simple, walnuts, cacao)
6 eggs separated (egg whites 190 g, egg yolks 110 g)

20 g all-purpoese flour or maize starch
zest of half untreated lemon

for the chocolate dressing
150 g dark chocolate (min. 60% cocoa solids) melted with 2 tbsp os cocoa butter
If you do not want that the chocolate dressing consolidated later, make another dressing. Melt some sugar in a little water and with some rum, and mix it with the melted chocolate.

7 If you use only chocolate and cocoa butter to the chocolate dressing it is better to prepare in the microwave or melt it on the vapor before serving.
If you use the sugar-coated version, it can be preparated previously.
