Dobos

/ˈdoʊboʊz/ noun

Definition

Plural of Dobos; Dobos torte or Dobosh torte, a Hungarian layered chocolate cake with caramel top and chocolate cream filling.

Etymology

Named after József C. Dobos, a Hungarian pastry chef who created the cake in the late 19th century. His name became synonymous with the rich, luxurious dessert.

Kelly Says

The Dobos torte was revolutionary because Dobos invented the thin crispy caramel layer on top — it protected the cake during transport, meaning it was one of the first shelf-stable fancy desserts that could be exported.
