Dobos Torte
Budapest's seven-layer legend: thin sponge layers, chocolate buttercream and a glass lid of caramel — built so the slice would keep in provincial cafés.
What it is
Budapest's seven-layer legend: thin sponge layers, chocolate buttercream and a glass lid of caramel — built so the slice would keep in provincial cafés. Ingredients: eggs, sugar, flour (sponge); buttercream: eggs, sugar, cocoa or chocolate, butter; caramel: sugar, butter; chopped hazelnuts for the sides. Recipe: 1) Bake thin sponge rounds. 2) Make chocolate buttercream; stack five layers. 3) Cook the caramel; pour over the reserved layer; score into wedges before it sets. 4) Crown the cake with the caramel lid; mask the sides with nuts. Serve: in slim, precise slices with coffee. Flavor: chocolate, butter, the crack of caramel. History: confectioner József Dobos unveiled it in 1885 to sensation — the buttercream itself was his innovation, guarded until he donated the recipe to Budapest's guild.
