What is National Sacher Torte Day?
National Sacher Torte Day on December 5th is a perfect day for you if you like chocolate and cake. This dessert is a delectable torte due to the layered ingredients.
Sacher Torte, also known as Sachertorte, is a special form of chocolate cake. Franz Sacher, an Austrian, invented it in 1832. Vienna considers the Sachertorte one of Vienna's most popular culinary specialties.
When Prince Wenzel Von Metternich ordered a special dessert from the kitchen for his guests at the age of 16, Franz Sacher was only an apprentice to the chef. Sacher stepped in for his mastery and created the Sacher Torte, which is internationally recognized as the Sacher Torte.
Eduard Eduardo's son, Eduard, went on to create this decadent dessert. He created the Sacher Torte by layering apricot jam between a rich, chocolate sponge cake and topped it with a layer of chocolate icing.
The original recipe is a mystery today and is exclusively served by the Sacher Hotels in Vienna and Salzburg.
