Dobostorte
- Per layer:
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbs. flour
- 1 Tbs. sugar
- pinch salt
- pinch cream of tartar
- Icing:
- 2 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. Karo syrup
- 1/2 c. water
- 2 egg whites
- 1 lb. unsalted butter
- 1 stick salted creamed butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted
- Preheat oven to 350.
- To make layers (decide how many to make and multiply the ingredients. Layers are very thin--traditionally there are 10-12):
- Separate eggs. Beat whites briefly, add a bit of salt and cream of tartar. When soft peaks form add 1/4 of the sugar and beat back to soft peaks. Beat remaining sugar into yolks until they are bright yellow. Fold flour into yolks, then fold in whites.
- Grease the bottom of a torte pan. Spread a thin layer of the batter and bake until just done. Remove from the pan while warm. Bake remaining layers.
- Icing:
- Beat egg whites to soft peaks. Bring sugar, Karo syrup, and water to a boil in a small saucepan and bring to 240. Let cool slightly. While mixer is running, pour syrup into egg whites and beat until stiff and shiny. Cool. Mix 3/4 of the meringue into softened butters. Add remaining meringue, vanilla, and melted chocolate. Beat until fluffy.
- To assemble:
- Ice between each layer, then ice outside of cake. Refrigerate and serve.
