For someone who's traveled quite extensively throughout Europe I never managed to make it to Hungary. Had I known earlier about their famous cake, Rigó Jancsi, I might have made it more of a priority to visit. Named after a famous Hungarian violinist, the cake is composed of two layers of chocolate sponge filled with a whipped chocolate cream then covered in chocolate ganache. A true chocolate extravaganza!
I had no idea this classic dessert existed until I saw it included in the latest volume of Bake from Scratch. To be honest I'm not the hugest fan of chocolate but there was something about the sharp, clean lines of this entremet that really stood out to me. Plus, the fact that it didn't use too much sugar is always welcome in my book. For any chocoholic in your life this dessert is right up their alley. Light and creamy but still decadent it's the perfect companion to a cup of coffee or tea.
For portioning the cake I started with long rectangular slices, but after having a taste of how rich the cake was I ended up cutting the rectangles in half. This yielded 36 perfectly sized pieces that can easily feed a crowd.
Wow, this honestly looks delicious!! Where has this Hungarian dessert been all my life? Haha
