Sacher Torte

Chocolate. History. Whipped cream

The Sacher-Torte is more than dessert—it’s a legend. A rich chocolate cake with a thin layer of apricot jam, sealed in glossy chocolate glaze, it remains one of Vienna’s most iconic creations.

The Original Sacher-Torte has been the most famous cake in the world since 1832 and the original recipe remains a well-kept secret. The basis of the entire confection is a chocolate cake, thinly coated by hand with best-quality apricot jam. The chocolate icing on top of it is the crowning glory. It tastes best with a portion of unsweetened whipped cream.
