wow! this looks delicious! i never make quick breads because i would keep eating until I exploded, so baking is saved for occasional treats. Last weekend was my Hungarian DH's birthday, and I had ambitions to make him his favorite cake, a hungarian dobos torte. Well, with my toddler screaming at my feet, and having attended to a sick dog for a week, I just didn't have the patience to deal with 10 cake layers and homemade caramel..so I used the Martha Stewart Baking dobos recipe, but made it a 3 layer cake instead with swiss mocha frosting. I have to say, it was quite a delicious cake. yellow cake was just about the best I've ever made, and my neighbor told me I make the best frosting. I reminded her she is comparing me against grocery bakery shortening frosting, as that's all she eats but I took it as a compliment anyway. the bonus of eliminating many layers is that I have frosting left over in a little jar in the fridge...which I am slowly eating straight from the container with a spoon.
