New Orleans Doberge Cake The Doberge cake, a version of the famous Dobos torte, is New Orlean's very own birthday cake. The traditional Dobos torte originated in Hungary in the late 1800s when C. József Dobos, a delicatessen owner in Budapest, strived to create a cake that required no refrigeration. The New Orleans Doberge cake was adapted in the 1930s by bakery owner Beulah Ledner. The caramel topping would not fare well in the South's hot, humid weather, so it was replaced with buttercream and fondant or ganache coating. Instead of the buttercream filling, Ms. Ledner filled the cake with custard.
