Dobos Torte

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1/2 pound of powdered sugar
• 3/4 cup of flour

Instructions

Cream yolks of the eggs with powdered sugar; add flour sifted three times; then add beaten whites of the eggs lightly and carefully into the mixture. Butter pie plates on under side and sprinkle with flour lightly over the butter and spread the mixture very thin. This amount makes one cake of twelve layers. Remove layers at once with a spatula.

Filling

• 1/2 pound of sweet butter
• 1/2 pound of sweet chocolate
• 1 cup of strong liquid coffee
• 1/2 pound of granulated sugar

Instructions

Cream sweet butter and put on ice immediately; take sweet chocolate and break it into the coffee; add sugar and let it boil until you can pull it almost like candy; remove from fire and stir the chocolate until it is quite cold. When cold add the chocolate mixture to the creamed butter. This filling is spread thin between the layers, spread the icing thicker on top and sides of the cake. This is very fine, but care must be taken in baking and removing the layers, as layers are as thin as wafers. Bake and make filling a day or two before needed.
