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".

The Sacher Torte is considered a classic Viennese dessert and is known for its rich chocolate flavor, its apricot filling, and its chocolate glaze. It's typically served with whipped cream. Sacher Torte is a very popular dessert in Austria and is often served in cafes, restaurants and pastry shops throughout the country. It's also popular in other parts of Europe and also can be found in many parts of the world.
