Chocolate Sacher Torte with apricots – notes
Sacher Torte was created by Franz Sacher in Vienna in the 19th century.
In 1832, in the absence of the head chef, a younger cook at the court of Prince Metternich, Franz Sacher, was given the delicate and responsible task of creating a new dessert for the prince and his demanding guests. He then developed a recipe for a chocolate cake layered with apricot marmalade and covered with chocolate glaze, which to this day is called by many the “king of desserts” (quote from Wikipedia).
The recipe for this famous cake remains a secret to this day.
All available recipes for this cake are merely interpretations and the best attempts to come close to the original :)
Today I present to you my version of this cake.
How to make Sacher Torte – tips
First, bake the chocolate cake and let it cool.
Then, the cake needs to be cut and layered with apricot jam (I used Stovit jam – this jam has large pieces of fruit, and I wanted a smooth consistency).
Also spread the jam on the top and sides of the cake.
Finally, cover the cake with a generous amount of chocolate glaze made from chocolate and heavy cream :)
I probably don’t need to say that a cake prepared this way will be exquisite!
I highly recommend it!
It will be perfect for various occasions – such as holidays or birthdays.
