Daring Bakers: Dobos Torte

DBsponge

The August 2009 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Angela of A Spoonful
of Sugar and Lorraine of Not Quite Nigella. They chose the spectacular Dobos
Torte based on a recipe from Rick Rodgers' cookbook Kaffeehaus: Exquisite
Desserts from the Classic Caffés of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.

5 layer sponge
Frosting: Coffee Buttercream
Made: Yesterday morning. A rush job I'm not so proud of as you can see with the coarse texture.

    Well, I'm proud of it (and you!) There are so many things here I've never even tried...meringue, buttercream, etc. etc. It looks delicious, too!

    Your coffee buttercream looks fabulously thick and lusicious - the kind of stuff that could be eaten alone ;) Congrats to you on doing this Daring Bakers!

    How did it taste? It looks like it would be great!
    I'm sorry I haven't stopped by here in awhile. You've posted some yummy looking pics!! I'm going to have to try those scones. I've never made a scone. They're just not my favorite, but I think making them myself might make a difference.

    I am jealous of your layers - they are very thin and look very well done! It sounds like a delicious combination with the coffee buttercream!
