2. Make the Buttercream:
- Cream the butter and powdered sugar until fluffy.
- Mix in melted chocolate and vanilla until smooth.
3. Assemble the Torte:
- Layer sponge and buttercream, spreading evenly between layers.
- Leave the top layer plain (for the caramel topping).
4. Caramel Crown:
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and lemon juice.
- Boil without stirring until it turns golden.
- Pour over the final sponge layer (already on parchment and greased), spread quickly.
- While it’s still warm, cut it into wedges with a greased knife.
- Cool completely, then place the caramel wedges on top of the cake like a fan.
5. Final Touch:
- Pipe some buttercream rosettes on top to support each caramel wedge.
- Chill to set before slicing.

Have you ever tasted a dessert that literally tells a story in every layer?
The Dobos Torte is more than a cake—it’s a symbol of elegance and Hungarian tradition. Six layers of light sponge, filled with silky chocolate buttercream, and crowned with a shiny caramel fan that gives it that signature flair.
I made this over the weekend, and not only did it take some love and patience, but the result? Absolutely unforgettable.
If you’ve never tried making a Dobos Torte at home, let this be your sign! It’s rich, it’s dramatic, and it’s everything a special dessert should be. 💫
