- 1 tablespoon cocoa (for the cocoa layer)
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of baking powder

For the syrup:
- 200 g sugar
- 250 ml water
- 10 ml rum essence

For the filling:
- 1 packet vanilla cream
- 1 packet chocolate (or caramel) cream
- 500 ml milk
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 100 g raisins
- 100 g roasted and chopped walnuts

For the topping:
- 100 g butter (or margarine)
- 100 g sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons cocoa
- Whipped cream (optional, for decoration)

Initial Preparations:

Start by preheating the oven to 160°C. Make sure you have all the ingredients at hand and that the layers are easy to prepare. Take a few moments to relax as you prepare to create this culinary masterpiece.

Preparing the Layers:

1. Simple Layer: In a bowl, beat 3 eggs with 3 tablespoons of sugar until fluffy. Add 3 tablespoons of flour and ½ packet of baking powder, mixing gently. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.

2. Cocoa Layer: In another bowl, repeat the similar process using the other 3 eggs, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cocoa, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Add another pinch of salt.

3. Baking the Layers: Pour the mixtures into two small baking trays lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the layers are firm and pass the toothpick test. Once done, let them cool completely.

Preparing the Cream:

4. The Creams: Prepare the creams according to the instructions on the package, using 500 ml of milk for each packet. Make sure to mix well to avoid lumps. Let them cool.

5. The Raisins: Soak the raisins in a little water with rum essence. This step will add extra flavor and moisture to the cake.

Preparing the Syrup:

6. The Syrup: Boil 250 ml of water with 200 g of sugar, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the rum essence and let it cool. This syrup will make the cake soft and flavorful.

Assembling the Cake:

7. First Layer: On a large plate, place the first simple layer and generously soak it with syrup. Add a layer of chocolate cream, ½ of the drained raisins, and ½ of the roasted walnuts.

8. Second Layer: Place the second simple layer on top, soak it again, and repeat the process with the cocoa layer, vanilla cream, raisins, and walnuts.

Preparing the Topping:

9. The Topping: In a small saucepan, melt the butter, adding sugar and cocoa. Let it boil for 1-2 minutes, then let it cool slightly. Pour this cocoa topping over the assembled cake, allowing it to drip evenly.

10. Cooling: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This will allow the flavors to blend perfectly.

Serving:

Once the cake has cooled, cut it into desired shapes. You can use a glass to create perfect circles or simply cut it into squares. Decorate each serving with whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance and flavor.

Additional Suggestions:

Somloi Galuska pairs perfectly with aromatic coffee or a slightly sweeter tea. You can also try serving it alongside vanilla ice cream for a contrast of textures and temperatures.

Tips and Variations:

- You can add a few banana slices between layers to enrich the dessert's flavor.
- Instead of raisins, you can use dried cranberries or even pieces of candied fruit for a fresh note.
- If you prefer a chocolate-free version, you can adapt the chocolate cream with coffee or caramel cream.
