While I was preparing the list of Austria’s favorite culinary specialties, one name was recommended by everyone in the cakes category, and that’s Sachertorte! If you are a local Austrian, you know the reason why, but if you are not, let me plate it up for you.
I really like it!Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
History reveals that sachertorte was born by Franz Sacher in 1832 when the young chef was directed to bake something new for the prince of that time and his friends. That’s how the recipe of sachertorte was prepared and is still celebrated not only in Austria but all over Europe.
If we talk about the taste and texture of this centuries-old traditional treat, it appears with a glazed outer layer holding a tempting disc of solid milk chocolate with pride. It is best served with thick cream to add to the Austrians’ generosity and the region’s richness.
Sachertorte is soft in the mouth and its delicate chocolate layers, appetized with apricot jam, are the locals’ first choice to start their mornings. However, the world knows Sachertorte for its uniqueness of “the older, the better” things, which means that the cake from two weeks tastes yummier than last night! It’s only if you can hold your cravings or make enough for weeks!
Its recipe is very simple, just like the other cakes, but what makes it so appetizing is its final mirror-textured look and the adorable moist layer in the centre, giving it an exquisite finish to catch everyone’s eye from the bakery’s counter window.
This classic cake is a part of almost every Austrian occasion. Its glazed surface lets you quote the messages for your loved ones when being gifted to them. If you are on a trip to Vienna, this is the right sweet dish that you can not say no to!
