If you’re new to Sacher Torte, you have a real treat in store.

Sacher is a style of chocolate cake that originated in Vienna, Austria and remains one of the country’s gourmet specialties.

What is Sacher Torte? Basically Sacher Torte is chocolate cake with apricot jam and a chocolate ganache or icing. Some Sacher Tortes are double layered cakes, others more simple single layer cakes (like this one).

In this Sacher Torte recipe, the top of the chocolate cake is brushed with apricot jam and then smothered in a gorgeous, glossy, dark chocolate ganache.

Make sure you use a good quality apricot jam. You want plenty of sweet fruit flavor to complement the bittersweet chocolate.
