Hungarian chocolate cake (rigó jancsi)
Cakes
Humans are the only creatures who tell stories, and for many of us, we tell stories with the food we make and share. Rigó Jancsi, otherwise known as Hungarian chocolate cake, is a dessert that tells a beautiful story of late 19th century romance, passion, and adventure. But it also tells another story for me, personally — of my Grandma Betty, her baking, and the love of an artform she passed on to me. This is a dessert truly for the grownups in the room, and is the perfect dessert to pair with an after dinner coffee. The cake is light, the filling is a blend of coffee and dark chocolate, and the glaze on top sweetens the deal — but just a little bit.
