📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Dobos torte was created in 1885 by Budapest confectioner József Dobos, and its remarkable keeping quality made it famous across Europe. Five or six thin sponge layers are sandwiched with chocolate buttercream, and only the top layer is glazed with crisp caramel and cut into wedges.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At an old Budapest café, people enjoy a slice of Dobos torte with its glinting caramel fan alongside coffee.
