Daring Bakers – Dobos torta…

Late again for the Daring Bakers challenge but not as much as last month Last weekend friends from the Netherlands stayed with us. Wanted to have the Dobos torta ready before they came on Friday but only managed to finish it Sunday afternoon… …

Thank you very much for this challenge, my first time making an egg buttercream.

Thankyou so much for all of your comments! Fellow DBers, thanks for participating in this month’s challenge. It was a pleasure to cohost it!

It’s good to know that I’m nto the only one that swears like a sailor when things go wrong when baking

Karen, my buttercream was probably closer to a ganache when it was all done as I put the butter in when it was still warm. I did another batch and the butter hadn’t fully incorporated as it was too cold so I wanted to avoid that fate.

SydneyGal-Absolutely, or trying to stave off the inevitable!

Jo-you can use a swiss roll pan or just a baking sheet with sides. To keep the knife oiled I put the oil in a bowl and used a silicon tipped stapula to oil it constantly

Thanks again everyone! xxx

Thanks so much for the challenge, I was a few days late this month but decided to make and post even if it didn’t count. I’m sp glad I did as the cake was delicious.

I definitely swear a bit if things get sticky, but while they were certainly sticky with the torta, I weathered without making any sensitive ears blush. This was a fun challenge! And thanks for writing about flying the DB banner–I’d forgotten to add mine to my post! Cheers!

Hi Lorraine, congratulations on such a fabulous looking torte. I’m absolutely inspired and would like to have a go at it Two questions though, what is a jellyroll pan and what technique do you use to keep your angled spatula/knife hot and oiled? Thanks!
