Sacher Torte was the invention of Franz Sacher from Vienna in 1932.This cake is very rich and moist chocolate cake or torte which has apricot jam and melted chocolate for icing.

If somebody tells you that a day in their yearly calendar is dedicated to this cake, would you believe that? In fact, December 5th is even declared as National Sacher Torte Day in Vienna, and this cake is considered as one of the most famous culinary specialities.

However, there has also been a legal tussle over holding the name ‘The original sacher torte’. Each time I indulge myself in creating this amazing piece of cake, the baking moments are patiently appreciated by people around.

The recipe I have tried here includes biscuits and grounded almonds and is very different from the traditional Sacher Torte recipe, which uses apricot jam and whipping cream to serve along with it. I have used almonds in this recipe which is rich in magnesium, iron, vitamin and calcium.They are high in calories but are very beneficial to health and is a better choice for kids, as it will help in improving their brain capacity.
