    In New Orleans Memories: One Writer's City, Caroyln Kolb writes: 'The first change Mrs Ledner made was in the name - "dobos" doesn't sound very French, and knowing that Orleanians loved their French pastries, she clever settled on "doberge" - which sounds about the same.' The doberge cakes are usually chocolate or lemon flavoured, and covered in buttercream, followed by a coating of icing.
