🔥 Instructions
1. Make the Sponge Layers
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Beat egg yolks with half the sugar until pale and creamy.
- Whip egg whites with remaining sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold yolks into whites, then sift and fold in flour and cornstarch.
- Divide batter into 5 equal portions.
- Bake each layer in a greased 8-inch round pan 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely.
2. Make the Chocolate Buttercream
- Beat butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in melted chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Assemble the Cake
- Place the first sponge layer on a cake board or plate.
- Spread a thin layer of chocolate buttercream evenly.
- Repeat with remaining layers, leaving the top layer plain (for caramel).
- Chill the cake in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before adding caramel.
4. Make the Caramel Glaze
- In a small saucepan, heat sugar and water over medium heat.
- Cook until golden amber — do not stir. Add a few drops of lemon juice to prevent crystallization.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter.
- Pour caramel over the top sponge layer and spread evenly.
- Let caramel harden slightly before slicing.
5. Serve
- Slice carefully with a hot knife to avoid cracking the caramel.
- Store in the fridge; allow to come to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
⭐ Tips
- Make sponge layers thin and uniform for classic Dobos appearance.
- Cool each sponge completely before assembling to prevent melting the buttercream.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut clean slices through the caramel.
- Optional: garnish edges with chopped nuts for a traditional look.
