Somlói galuska is a decadent Hungarian trifle that layers sponge cake, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream to create a rich and indulgent dessert.

This beloved dessert was invented in the 1950s by Károly Gollerits, a Hungarian pastry chef, and has since become a staple in Hungarian cuisine.

To make Somlói galuska, start by baking a light and airy sponge cake. Once the cake is ready, it is cut into pieces and layered with a luscious chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of walnuts and raisins for added texture and flavor.

Some variations of this dessert include a hint of rum in the chocolate sauce or the addition of vanilla custard between the layers for an extra touch of richness.

In Hungary, Somlói galuska is often served at special occasions and celebrations, enjoyed with a cup of coffee or as a sweet ending to a festive meal.

While this dessert is undeniably delicious, it is also quite rich and should be enjoyed in moderation. It is high in sugar and calories, so it's best to savor it as an occasional treat.
