Dobos torte recipe

Looking for one of the most exquisite treat that eggs and flour can make? Divine tasting buttery chocolate layers with caramelized sugar top.

As I currently have some time, I was browsing on the internet yesterday. In need of fresh, fascinating tips, inspiring dishes that I’ve never tested before, to astonish my family with. Looking for a while yet could not discover any interesting stuff. Right before I wanted to give up on it, I discovered this delicious and simple dessert by accident over Suncakemom. It seemed so scrumptious on its image, it called for instant actions.

It was simple enough to imagine the way it is created, its taste and how much my husband will enjoy it. Mind you, it is extremely simple to impress him in terms of cakes. Anyhow, I got into the page and used the simple instuctions that have been combined with great shots of the operation. It really makes life quite easy. I could suppose it’s a bit of a effort to shoot snap shots in the middle of baking in the kitchen as you normally have gross hands thus i really appreciate the time and effort she placed in to make this blogpost .

With that said I’m inspired to present my own recipes in the same way. Appreciate your the thought.

I had been fine tuning the main recipe create it for the taste of my loved ones. I have to mention it absolutely was a great outcome. They loved the flavor, the overall look and loved having a delicacy such as this in the midst of a stressful week. They basically wanted more, a lot more. So the next occasion I am not going to commit the same mistake. I’m gonna double the quantity .

Dobos torte hungary was first baked by SunCakeMom

Pastry

Separate eggs and put them into two medium size mixing bowls then Put half of the sugar with the egg whites and the other half with the yolks.

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks are formed.

Separately mix yolks with sugar and beat it until we get a light yellow color.

Sift the flour and optional baking powder on top of the egg yolk and mix it in.

Slowly mix in the egg whites adding just a couple of spoonful at a time.

Cut 8.6″ / 22cm diamter circles out of baking paper to fit at the bottom of the tray then divide the batter into 6 and create as even Ø7.5″ / Ø19cm layers as possible. Put layers into the preheat 356°F / 180°C oven and bake them for 10-15 minutes.

Take them out as soon as we see the edges are light brown. Don’t overbake them as too hard pastry would break. Save the best layer and put it aside for the top caramel layer. We may put a plate on top of it to stop it from deforming.

Filling

Melt chocolate.

Dice butter and beat it for at least 10 minutes until we’ll get creamy and light consistency of it. Fluffier is better.

In the meantime put eggs and sugar into a double boiler

Beat the eggs in medium heat until it is warm and soft peaks form.

Take it off the heat and keep beating until it cools down.

Mix melted chocolate with the fluffy butter

Fold in the beaten eggs carefully then put the cream in the fridge until it’s ready to be use.

Topping

This is the trickiest part of the whole cake. We need to prepare all the things needed beforehand in reaching distance as we have to work as fast as possible. Prepare and check everything we will need: A sharp knife, butter and the top layer of the cake.

Pour sugar and water into a saucepan and without stirring, cook until sugar dissolves then comes to a boil and the color starts darkening. It is important not to stir it otherwise it is going to crystallize. Instead of stirring swirl the pan and continue to boil until caramel becomes a golden brown.

As soon as golden brown, act fast,

Pour caramel over the best looking cake layer.

Mark the caramel as fast as possible with a buttered knife or even better a spreading tool. Keep buttering the knife between the cuts. The easiest is to cut the glaze into 16 wedges. As we don’t have to estimate where to cut. Half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth…

We have to finish before the glaze hardens. Be really careful with the hot caramel. Don’t touch or try to taste it. It would burn the skin badly. When the caramel is hot we can mark it first by pressing the knife onto it gently. Later when it’s hardened we can cut it properly. It is a delicate job as the glaze could break easily.

Assembly

Place the first layer on the cake serving plate as this will make it easier to move it later. Divide cream into 6 evenly then spread filling on the first four layers and stack them.

Put the fifth layer on top. Now we only have 2 portions of the chocolate cream then spread half of it on top of the layer then cut the cake into a proper circle shape if necessary.

Cover the outside of the cake with the other half.

Throw the shredded nuts outside the cake as decoration. It will stick into the cream as it is still soft.

Place 16 half walnuts on top of the cake around the edge. This is where the caramel glaze slices are going to lean on. Cut the glaze properly and place it on top of the cake. Put a walnut in the middle as a final step. Keep it in a cool place but take it to room temperature half an hour before serving.
