About National Sacher Torte Day

The cake is made of a dense chocolate sponge cake with a layer of apricot jam in the middle and chocolate icing on top. The original recipe is a closely guarded secret, but it is generally agreed that the cake is made with high-quality dark chocolate and a rich buttercream filling.
The Sacher Torte became famous in Vienna's Cafe Sacher and is still served there. The Cafe Sacher has even obtained a trademark on the name "Original Sacher-Torte".
