  5. Remove from heat and stir in butter pieces until melted. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool down.

  6. Once the cream is cooled, beat with an electric mixer until stiff and fluffy. Gently fold in whipped topping. Refrigerate for 2 more hours.

Frequently asked questions

. Can I use a different flavor of cake mix?

Yes, you can experiment with different flavors to create your own unique twist on the Quick Dobos Torte. Try using vanilla or even a red velvet cake mix for a delightful variation.

. Can I make the coffee cream without coffee extract?

While coffee extract adds a rich flavor to the cream, you can substitute it with instant coffee granules dissolved in a small amount of hot water. This will give your cream a similar coffee taste.
