🇭🇺 Hungary recipe
Dobos Torta
Dobos Torta is one of Hungary's most celebrated pastry creations, introduced in 1885 by confectioner József C. Dobos. Five thin sponge cake layers are sandwiched with a silky chocolate buttercream, the sides coated in ground hazelnuts, and the top layer finished with a sheet of crackly caramel that shatters satisfyingly with each bite. It is a masterpiece of precision baking.
