Cake DOBOS

When hearing about Hungary, foreigners at faraway places first think of the goulash soup and Puskás, the football player. The Dobos cake would surely come in third for Europeans. When designing this cake, confectioner József Dobos had the intention to make a cake with a quality lasting at least for 10 days even beside the old cooling technologies. Dobos was rather surprised to see how tasty his cake was found by the audience. This cake was first made in 1885 and its recipe was made public in 1995. We make this cake according to the original recipe.
