The Prince warned his chef to take special care and ensure that he is not embarrassed by any sub-standard production.\u00a0 Tragically, his chef fell ill (probably due to stress) and it then fell upon his 16-year-old apprentice <strong>Franz Sacher<\/strong> to dream something up.\u00a0 Young Franz Sacher baked a soft and fluffy chocolate cake with a nice flavoured apricot jam under the icing.\u00a0 His cake was a resounding success with Prince Metternich and his guests, and thus the <strong>Sacher-torte was born!<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"adLargerect\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1009507070974015\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7417206609\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<h4>The Sacher-Torte<\/h4>\n<p>Franz Sacher&#8217;s successful cake opened career doors for him.\u00a0 He spent his apprenticeship working for the Count of Esterhazy, first in Bratislava and then in Budapest. When he became fully qualified as a chef, he began his own business and started baking his cake on a larger scale. Success followed and very soon the<strong> <em>&#8220;cake by this man named Sacher&#8221;<\/em> <\/strong>was in great demand, leading to the one of the most famous cakes of all time. Up to this day, hotel cafes, coffee shops and restaurants the world over still offer this treat in their dessert menus.\u00a0 Yes, and I admit to having devoured Sacher-tortes in the coffee shops of five-star hotels around Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n<h4>The Secret Sacher-Torte Recipe<\/h4>\n<p>The original recipe was a <strong>well-kept secret <\/strong>of the Sacher Hotel and only the Original Sacher-Torte is produced according to this original recipe. You&#8217;ll nevertheless find many recipes online that claim to produce just as good a result. The basis is a chocolate cake, thinly coated by hand with best-quality apricot jam and this is topped with chocolate icing, being the crowning glory. The Original Sacher-Torte tastes best with a serve of unsweetened whipped cream and to complement this is a nice <strong>&#8220;Wiener Melange&#8221; <\/strong>or coffee with milk.\u00a0 Whether you&#8217;re in Vienna, Salzburg, Graz or Innsbruck, head for the Original Sacher Caf\u00e9s and you&#8217;ll be able to treat yourself to this famous cake.\u00a0 It&#8217;s not just about enjoying the original cake, but also to experience Austria&#8217;s traditional <strong>coffee-house culture with the Sacher flair.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>What if you&#8217;re not planning an Austrian holiday?<\/h4>\n<p>Those not planning to travel to Austria, <strong>need not miss out!<\/strong> Would you believe that you can actually order one of these famous cakes, and many other Sacher products, online and they&#8217;ll be delivered to you anywhere in the world by DHL?\u00a0 Yes, I was tempted until I checked that the freight cost to my end of the world is <strong>three times the cost of the cake!<\/strong> Anyway, if cost is not an issue and you have some <em>&#8216;fastidious high-ranking guests for dinner&#8217;<\/em>, this could be a nice dinner conversation piece.<\/p>\n<h3>Things to do in Vienna<\/h3>\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-city-id=\"60335\" data-language=\"en\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-tq-campaign=\"innsbruck\" data-partner=\"travelsignposts\" data-cards-layout=\"vertical\" data-width=\"634\" data-height=\"750\"><\/div>\n<p><script defer src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Original Sacher-torte at Hotel Sacher in Wien: If you love chocolate cakes or anything with a sense of tradition, history or originality, then make sure you allow time on your Austrian holiday to savour the Sacher-torte in the country where this world famous chocolate cake was first created.
