Viennese Sacher Torte

"My take on the famous chocolate torte from the Sacher hotel in Vienna. The genuine recipe for the Sacher Torte is totally a secret squirrel. A chocolate cake with a lick of jam, what’s the big fuss? I secretly think that the queuing to get into the cafe is a big factor adding to the taste. I mean – after half an hour (at least!) in the pouring rain or blasting sun you are bound to appreciate the civilised surroundings, old fashioned opulence of an old world hotel – and a moist slice with shiny glaze, daintily decorated with a Sacher milk button and with a dollop of Schlagsahne on the side."
