Ah, the Hungarian Dobos Torte (Dobostorta) 🇭🇺 — one of Hungary’s most famous desserts! It was created in 1884 by the confectioner József C. Dobos, and it quickly became a European sensation.
This elegant cake is known for its seven thin sponge layers filled with rich chocolate buttercream, and topped with a shiny, crisp caramel layer that gives it a unique texture and look. Traditionally, the caramel top is cut into slices and arranged like a fan on top of the cake.
