I recently had an esterhazy torte in budapest and it was wonderful. I know i had seen the recipe somewhere, but can't find it in any of my books. I'd like to make it.
It's a 6 layer cake - the cake is clearly some kind of sponge with ground walnuts in place of flour - i have a recipe for cake like that, whcih would have to be sliced into thin layers, but i suspect it's made like a dobos torte, baked in 6 very thin layers on cookie sheets.
The filling is walnut buttercream. So i just make a buttercream and add ground walnuts? Or is it like the dobos filling with butter and heavy cream, with walnuts?
I believe the top is fondant, but i don't remember exactly.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
