This year I made a seven layer cake for Michelle and Rebecca's birthday party. Layers = 1 recipe of Gil Marks's dobostorte made in heavy cookie sheets lines with buttered foil. Cool, wrap tightly in foil and plastic wrap, and freeze overnight. The next day, trim off 1 inch all around and quarter the layers. Rewrap and freeze until needed. Filling = egg white chocolate buttercream from Cake Bible. Made 2x what was needed, use half recipe next time. Outer frosting = Chocolate Fudge Frosting from Betty Crocker's Cake Decorating. Again 2x too much. But also Harold says the frosting was still not much like Ronnie's. Suggests the next thing to try is straightforward butter + confectioner's sugar + cocoa powder.
