August Daring Bakers Challenge: Dobos Torte!

[layers_of_eli]

I'm just going to be honest. When I saw the August Daring Bakers Challenge (only my second challenge!) my first thought was, uh-oh, perhaps I need to opt out of this one? I know, I know -- shame on me! I quickly reminded myself that being pushed to my limits was, hello, the point, so I took a deep breath and went for it. Early. So I could go

That is beautiful! Very nice job :)

I'm curious about the challenge thing though. Can you elaborate? :D

Thank you!

Every month, one of the Daring Bakers gets chosen to host the challenge. They (and sometimes a partner) choose a recipe for the other DBs to make throughout the month-- typically something that's either complex or unusual (i.e. challenging). All the DBs make it (sometimes with certain variations) and everyone posts all at once on the 27th of each month -- on their blogs, or in a nonblogging area of the Daring Kitchens website. It's a fun community. There are also Daring Cooks (who are on a slightly different schedule).
