Sachertorte
Sachertorte
Sachertorte is a chocolate cake that is soft and fluffy in texture and is usually served with unsweetened whipped cream. The ingredients of the cake is made up of mainly chocolate and also butter, caster sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, flour and apricot jam. Some recipes may vary.
The creator of the cake is Franz Sacher and was made in Vienna, Austria in 1832. On that same year, Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich (Austrian politician in Germany) wanted his personal chef to create something special for his important guests. The only problem though was that his head chef was ill so he could not prepare any food, and that's when he left his sixteen year old apprentice take over for him, Franz Sacher who was currently in his second year in Prince Klemens Wenzel's kitchen. So as you have probably guessed, Sacher created his trademark Sachertorte for the very important guests. The cake was a great success!
Eduard carried on the culinary legacy of his father, Franz Sacher, and perfected the recipe over the years. You can find the cake with the original recipe served at Hotel Sacher which was established in 1876 by Eduard himself in Vienna. So if you would like to try out the real thing, head out to Vienna and grab a slice!
The cake remains as one of the most famous culinary specialties of Vienna.
