Trip to Szentendre and the invincible Somlói sponge cake

Yesterday I made a trip with mum to Szentendre by boat to get out from the city for a day.

Szentendre is the City what I need to visit every year. It is located at the south gate of Danube Bend, it has tiny town squares, meandering narrow streets, Serb temples, baroque buildings and it is also known for its Skanzen, the Open-Air Ethnographic Museum. The city is very famous among tourists who visits Budapest since Szentendre is accessible easily from Budapest, I can recommend to make at least a half day sightseeing trip to this cute town.

 If you visit the city you have to turn in the Szamos Museum Confectioner's, one of the most popular confectionery of Hungary which is very famous mostly for its traditional cakes, dragées, chocolate pralines and special Szamos desserts. But wherefore I love them the most is their Somlói sponge cake, one of the masterpiece of the Hungarian confectionery.



Somlói sponge is vanilia, cacao and walnut sponge cake sheets filled with raisins, walnut, decorated with chocolate dressing and whipped cream. It seems simple but it is not easy to prepare perfectly. I know because I tested Somlói in a lot of confectioneries but still the Szamos's one is the UNBEATABLE!! Soft sponge, silky vanilia cream, home made whipped cream and which is the best: the chocolate dressing with a little rum. Many confectioner ruined it with making the chocolate cream too watery and sweet but Szamos always finds the perfect rate.

My mum chose mixed fruit cottage cheese cake.


Christmas Museum was opened in the old town some time ago where gastro bloggers can find christmas tree ornaments.
