SACHER TORTE Sacher Torte is the cake for chocolate lovers — a layered chocolate cake filled with apricot jam is coated in chocolate ganache and finished with a chocolate glaze. |
Sacher torte is a traditional dessert of Austria, believed to be invented in the city of Vienna in 1832. Sacher torte is perhaps Austria’s most famous dessert, and is known world wide for its incredibly rich flavor.

The result may be the most famous chocolate cake in history, the Sacher Torte....
