Sacher-Torte Day

Do you like cake? Do you like chocolate? If the answer to both of those questions is a hearty yes, then have we got news for you! December 5th is National Sacher-Torte Day, and it’s time to celebrate one of the most delicious desserts known to humankind. But what exactly is a Sacher-Torte? Read on to learn more and join in on the celebration!

The Sacher-Torte is an Austrian cake composed of two layers of apricot jam filled chocolate sponge cake, with a layer of dark ganache glaze coating the entire cake. It was created back in 1832 by Franz Sacher, an apprentice chef working at Vienna’s Demel’s Bakery. The dessert has since become iconic in Austria, and it is often served with whipped cream as a topping.
