9 Layer Dobacz Torte
Victoria never made this Torte herself but her mom brought this recipe from Hungary and made it for special occasions. Vic’s sister Ad knew this cake and taught her daughter Lorie how to make it. Lorie made the torte for Victoria’s 95th Birthday party. Everyone enjoyed it very much. They saved a piece for me, the typist. Yummy!
