About National Sacher Torte Day
Sacher Torte is a type of chocolate cake that originated in Austria. It was created in 1832 by Franz Sacher, a pastry chef working in Vienna. The cake is made of a dense chocolate sponge cake with a layer of apricot jam in the middle and chocolate icing on top. The original recipe is a closely guarded secret, but it is generally agreed that the cake is made with high-quality dark chocolate and a rich buttercream filling.
The Sacher Torte became famous in Vienna's Cafe Sacher and is still served there. The Cafe Sacher has even obtained a trademark on the name "Original Sacher-Torte".
