In another bowl, beat yolks with sugar until creamy.
Fold in flour and gently mix with egg whites.
Divide batter into 3 parts — leave one plain, mix one with cocoa, and one with ground walnuts.
Bake each layer separately in a greased, parchment-lined pan for 10–12 minutes, or until set.
Let cool, then cut into cubes.
Prepare the syrup:
Heat water and sugar until dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in rum and vanilla.
Prepare chocolate sauce:
Combine milk, sugar, cocoa, and chocolate in a saucepan.
Simmer until smooth, then stir in butter.
Assemble the trifle:
In a large bowl or dish, layer sponge cubes (mix the three flavors).
Sprinkle with syrup to moisten.
Add raisins and chopped walnuts.
Drizzle with chocolate sauce.
Repeat layers until ingredients are used.
Chill and serve:
Chill for at least 2–3 hours (best overnight).
Serve with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of warm chocolate sauce. 🍫🤍
💡 Tips:
Authentic Somlói Galuska is often served in scoops (“galuska” means dumplings) rather than slices!
For a luxurious touch, sprinkle grated dark chocolate or pour a bit of rum syrup over the top before serving.
This dessert tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld beautifully.
Would you like me to write a short and emotional Facebook caption for this dessert — something like “Layers of love, chocolate, and nostalgia — Hungary’s Somlói Galuska at its finest 🇭🇺🍫💛”?
