Among Europe’s most elegant desserts, the Dobos Torte stands as a true masterpiece. Created in 1884 by Hungarian confectioner József Dobos, this six-layer sponge cake filled with silky chocolate buttercream and topped with caramel glaze became a sensation across the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Its charm lies in the balance—light sponge, rich chocolate, and that perfect caramel crunch.
