We are from New Orleans and recently moved to Texas. Doberge cake was a staple at most birthday parties or a large family gathering. The only place we would purchase this cake was at Gambino’s in Metairie. Point is, everyone who has had a slice so far comments how delicious it is and if I made a quick trip back to NOLA and purchased one.
Couple things I may change next time....(1)I do not feel that the actual cake you make from scratch is necessary. To me, the “cake” part tastes just like out-of-the-box yellow cake. May be easier just to bake that instead of scratch. (2) I will be much less generous with the buttercream icing on the top. Between the custard and ganache, you really do not need to put lots of icing unless you have a real sweet tooth for chocolate. Great recipe though!!!!
Turned out great. I added a couple drops of vanilla to the egg white mixture to give it a distinct flavor. Took about 45 minutes to prepare and 5 minutes to be devoured. Three taste testing kids approved!!!
