Directions
Dobosh Torte (Seven Layer Torte), A friend shared this recipe with me it’s from the Maida Heatter’s Book of Great Desserts It makes a nice Holiday or dinner party dessert, We take turns at work, bringing in birthday cake for our coworkers I brought this one in yesterday and everyone was impressed I will definitely make this one again and again , I think this is very close to the one my former MIL made I think she sliced pound cake very thinly rather than make more cakes It was my favorite birthday cake for quite sometime I may try this
