Hungarian Walnut Chocolate Layer Cake

Ingredients

For the layers:

• 500 g all-purpose flour
• 150 g sugar
• 100 g butter
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3 tbsp milk

For the walnut filling:

• 250 g ground walnuts
• 200 g sugar
• 250 ml milk
• 150 g butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the chocolate topping:

• 150 g dark chocolate
• 50 g butter

Instructions

1. Mix the flour, sugar, butter, eggs, honey, baking soda, and milk to form a soft dough.
2. Divide the dough into 5–6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a very thin rectangle.
3. Bake each sheet at 180°C (350°F) for about 7–9 minutes, until lightly golden. Do not overbake.
4. For the filling, heat the milk and sugar. Stir in the ground walnuts and cook for a few minutes. Let cool.
5. Beat the butter until creamy, then gradually mix it into the cooled walnut mixture.
6. Place one baked layer on a serving tray and spread with walnut cream. Repeat until all layers are stacked.
7. Melt the chocolate with the butter and spread it evenly over the top.
8. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, so the layers become soft and tender.
9. Cut into small rectangular pieces and serve.
