Changed the picture. This is the original "Dobos cake", the way it was invented and baked by Mr Dobos in the beginning .

The taste is chewy and gummy and you feel a tinny tickle on the tongue wile chewing on this splendid cake 23:11, 30 October 2008 99.232.235.154 (Talk) (2,672 bytes) (→External links)
I maintain that Dobos Torte is the proper spelling in the English language for this dessert. See, for example:

My family believed - probably erroneously - that the real reason for the name of the cake is that the cake looks like a drum: 'dob' is Hungarian for 'drum,' so 'dobos torta' means 'drum cake'; the creator's name being Dobos is a coincidence... See, for example, http://easteuropeanfood.about.com/od/hungariandesserts/r/doboshtorte.htm, for 'drum cake' or http://www.angel.org.il/story5_en.aspx, which mentions both etymologies. Can somebody with more Hungarian than I add something about this, or provide a more definitive reference, one way or another? Köszönöm szépen...

The text describes this as The five-layer pastry, but the photo sure looks like six layers. Maybe there's no set number of layers and different people make it differently? The text shouldn't contradict the photo, at least not without some explanation. Either way, it looks good to eat :-)— Preceding unsigned comment added by RoySmith ( talk • contribs)
