Last week was my birthday so my granddaughter bought me a Sacher-torte.
There is some story behind it so she knew I'd appreciate it. Some years
ago I bought one as a special treat for my wife so it is not just a
cake, it is full of memories.
It is chocolate, but not overly sweet, nothing at all like the typical
chocolate cake you'd make or at the corner bakery. The whipped cram
rounds out the flavor.

“Oh, that he may not discredit me tonight!” – These words of Prince
Metternich of Austria marked the beginning of the story of the Original
Sacher-Torte in 1832. The court of Prince Metternich had requested a
dessert for a special occasion, but the chef was ill at the time, so
16-year-old apprentice Franz Sacher filled in. The cake he created could
not have been more delicious.
The Original Sacher-Torte is still hand-made using Franz Sacher’s
original recipe to this day, and is best enjoyed with a dollop of
unsweetened whipped cream. (Chocolate) dreams do come true!
