-
(countable, uncountable) A Hungarian sponge cake layered with chocolate buttercream and topped with caramel.
I would like to state some facts about Dobos torten (never Dobosch, as the s is pronounced sh in Hungarian) and Sacher torten (by the way, the plural for torte is torten, not tortes as you state.) […] A Dobos Torte should always have nine layers, although most American cookbooks encourage six, probably due to the fact that it is a nuisance and very time consuming to bake nine very thin layers.
1973 April 24, Beth Tartan, quoting a reader, “Speaking of Food: A Reader Sets the Food Columnist Straight”, in Winston-Salem Journal, 77th year, number 19, Winston-Salem, N.C., →OCLC, page 17, column 1:Finally Mickey took pictures of Cica, Taggy, Puppo and Lurko eating Dobos torte (six thin layers of cake filled with chocolate cream topped with a caramel crust), on the terrace of the Intercontinental Hotel.
