Krémsomlós

Krémsomlós is a traditional Hungarian dessert that is popular throughout the country and beyond. The name "krémsomlós" is derived from the Hungarian words "krém" meaning cream, and "somlós" meaning sponge cake. The dessert consists of a light, fluffy sponge cake soaked in a rich, sweet custard sauce, topped with whipped cream or a layer of caramel sauce. The sponge cake is typically made with eggs, sugar, flour, and baking powder, while the custard sauce is made with milk, sugar, and egg yolks. The dessert is often served chilled and is a popular choice for celebrations and special occasions. Krémsomlós is also a popular dessert in other Central European countries, such as Slovakia and Romania, where it is known as "krémová somlosa" and "somlos" respectively. The dessert is a testament to the rich culinary heritage of Hungary and the broader region.
