Sacher Torte

August 7, 2009 by Sophie G

Created in 1832 by apprentice baker Franz Sacher for an Austrian prince, this chocolate cake soon gained popularity. Sacher’s descendants later built and operated the Sacher Hotel in Vienna and made the cake their specialty. When a popular Viennese pastry shop copied the recipe, the Sachers took them to court. In the court decision, the Sachers retained the right to use the name “Original Sacher torte.”
