The specialty of this cake is the perfect combination of chocolate and apricot jam. A chocolate crust with an excellent buttery taste and delicate apricots, which soothe the sweetness, give a perfect harmony.
Hotel "Sacher" in Vienna has won the right to name its cake "Original Sacher Torte", which bears a round chocolate stamp. The cake is served with unsweetened whipped cream, accompanied by the indispensable coffee melange (Wiener Melange). This famous cake also has its own day, which is celebrated on December 5.
