Classic Sachertorte (Austria)

This is Vienna’s “Pride and Glory.” This recipe is adapted from Rick Rodgers’ “Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafes of Vienna, Budapest, and Prague.”

Chocolate Viennese Bars

These are so delicious. A combination of chocolate and apricot on a shortbread base. Easy to make because it starts with a cake mix, but no one can tell. This was a favorite of my favorite cousin.

Miniature Austrian Sachertorte

Sachertorte, one of Austria’s most famous desserts, was created in the 1830s by baker Franz Sacher. Here is an updated version of the classic recipe, made into individual servings using a muffin tin. The moist, light cake is topped with a glistening chocolate icing and served with a dollop of warm Cointreau spiked apricot jam. A lovely special occasion dessert!
