This dessert is Hungarian and called “Puha és krémes sütemény”, which translates to “Soft and Creamy Cake.”
It’s a chocolate sponge with a creamy vanilla filling and chocolate glaze—very similar to a soft chocolate slice cake.
Here’s a full, clear recipe based on the image and traditional versions 🍫🍰
