SCHWABIK

This cake is really called a Dobos Torta. In our family, it was made on special occasions, and when another family member made this cake, it seemed to magically call out to the rest of the family - and soon someone would be ringing the front doorbell saying "I thought I would stop by today - oh look! You've made Grandma's Seven Layer cake!"

Here is a recipe torn from a magazine many years ago. It is a recipe for the traditional Dobos Torta provided by the Budapest Hilton. You might want to read this one before attempting Anna Murin's version- It is probably more accurate, however, Anna's is our family recipe and it's the one we use! There are more family versions (Americanized) of this cake, they will be posted in the near future.

Who could forget the taste of Anna Murin-Schwabik's Cream Cheese Cookies! They were amazing!

This is Grandma's Walnut Torte- Anna Murin Schwabik's recipe of course. This is a very flat and very moist cake that is delicious! Anna used to use this huge grinder to grind up the walnuts. Now we have electric mills that grind walnuts in a snap! But the taste is still the same.

This is Anna Murin-Schwabik's SZEKELY GOULASH - Everyone, especially Uncle Bob used to call it "Sacred Goulash" because we couldn't pronounce 'SZEKELY'- Székely is a village in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, in the Northern Great Plain region of eastern Hungary.
