Mađarica, meaning Hungarian girl, is a traditional layered cake that is usually associated with festive occasions. The layers are coated in a velvety, chocolate-infused cream, and the whole cake is finished with a dark chocolate glaze.
Although not much is known about its origin or etymology, mađarica is believed to be an original Croatian dessert that was modeled on traditional Hungarian layered cakes.
This classic Hungarian dessert consists of two layers of chocolate sponge held together by a luscious, mousse-like cocoa cream filling which is sometimes flavored with a splash of dark rum, while the cake itself is typically covered in a rich dark chocolate ganache.
Rigó Jancsi is said to have been invented at the turn of the 20th century and named after a famous Hungarian Gypsy violinist who seduced and eventually married Clara Ward, the daughter of an American millionaire named Eber Brock Ward and the wife of Belgian Prince de Caraman-Chimay.

Kaštelanska torta is a traditional chocolate cake originating from the Kaštela area in Dalmatia. The cake is usually made with a combination of sugar, eggs, almonds, chocolate, breadcrumbs, and a bit of prošek. The egg yolks are beaten with sugar, then mixed with the almonds, chocolate, breadcrumbs soaked in prošek, and whisked egg whites.
The batter is baked in the oven, and once done, the cake is topped with a glaze consisting of sugar, water, chocolate, and butter. Once chilled, kaštelanska torta is often garnished with halved almonds. In the past, the cake was prepared for weddings, christenings, and similar festive occasions.
