The Great British Bake Off (2010)

Episode Overview

Title: European Cakes Plot: As the baking marathon reaches its midpoint, the remaining six contestants are challenged with creating three different European cakes. For their signature bake, they must tackle yeast-leavened cakes, a complex blend of cake and bread that leads some bakers to stray from traditional European recipes. Mary then raises the stakes with a demanding technical task: crafting a Swedish princess torte, which involves 24 intricate steps and a limited time of just two hours and fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, Sue delves into the rich history of Danish cakes and pastries. The grand finale takes the bakers to Hungary, where they are tasked with reinventing the classic dobos torte. This traditionally layered cake must be transformed into a two-tiered masterpiece, showcasing caramel in innovative ways. But which baker will rise to the occasion in this sticky yet sweet showdown? On your marks, get set... bake!
