How to fill Sacher Cake

To fill the Original Sacher cake:

  • apricot jam (about 1 jar)

  • water q.s

  • Add a drop of water or liqueur of your choice to the jam, put on the stove for a few minutes.

  • After cutting the cake into two discs of the same height, stuff the cake inside and also on the surface, to have a better effect during glazing. Level with a spatula.

For the Chocolate Glaze to pour on the Sacher cake:

  • 150 g of sugar

  • 150 g of dark chocolate.

    1. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or put it in a bowl in the microwave, after having chopped it. Dissolve the granulated sugar in a pan and cook up to 117 °C which is technically called a “small bubble”. Remove the pan with the sugar from the heat and add the melted chocolate.

    2. Mix carefully, wait a few minutes, then place the Sacher on a rack, with a pan underneath, and pour the topping onto the cake to cover it completely. Level the surface lightly, using a long trowel.

To Decorate the Sacher cake:

  • 100 g of butter

  • 100 g of dark chocolate

  • 30 g of cocoa powder

  • 1 yolk

  • 50 g of granulated sugar.

  1. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler. Work the butter with the whisk, making it soft and puffy. Whip the egg yolk with the sugar until a frothy mixture is obtained. Combine the egg yolks and sugar mixture with the butter until you get a cream. Gradually add the melted chocolate and cocoa. Mix and complete the cream.

  2. Put the cream in the sac-à-poche, equipped with a smooth nozzle, to create the writing. At this point, write "Sacher torte or Sacher Cake". The writing must be done without pausing. Later you can decorate some letters.

  3. Put the rest of the cream in another sac-a-poche, equipped with a star nozzle, and form tufts of cream along the edges of the cake.

  4. Before serving, it should be kept in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This is a cake that remains soft and moist even after a few days of preparation. Buon appetito! NOTE: the original sacher cake can only be prepared by the Hotel Sacher in Vienna, which jealously guards the recipe. This version tries to get as close as possible to the original.

Buon appetito!
