The perfect Sachertorte in Vienna

Across from the beautiful Staatsoper (Vienna State Opera), Hotel Sacher is as plush as you’d hope: red velvet, white marble, gold relief. Tourists queue in the cold to get in (book to avoid this fate). The handsome torte arrives complete with seal. The thickest-yet layer of chocolate fondant holds everything nicely in place. Orderly. An excellent balance of fruity jam and rich sponge that also manages to be light.

I browse newspapers on the old Zeitungshalter (traditional wooden paper rack), trying not to be influenced by my surroundings. We chat about the archduke Otto von Habsburg wandering the hotel naked at the turn of the 20th century. Lots of history; lavish surroundings; technically, the best torte we’ve tried (one of 1,000 produced daily) – Oh my. It delivers and then some. The apricot jam is fairly oozing, the chocolate icing almost caramel-like with a velvety sheen (made with untraditional-but-delicious butter and cream). A delicious bargain!

While watching The Peak of Confection event story I noticed that Eishin Flash's new outfit had a little chocolate seal as part of her head wear and it reminded me of the decorative chocolate seal on the 'Official' Sacher Torte to show it is the real deal.

Fun fact: the recipie for the Sachertorte, a type of chocolate cake with an apricot jam filling, was created by Franz Sacher while he worked at a pastry shop called Demel in Vienna. When his son Eduard started to serve the cake at his own newly founded Hotel Sacher, a legal battle ensued over the details of the cake and its trademark.

While a resolution was reached that has meant both still serve the cake's secret recipie and can call it a Sachertorte, only Hotel Sacher's bears this seal of authenticity.

Algy was sorry that Ludwig, the very special friend of his good friend Bud @bwwhitney in New England, was delayed in getting to Algy's birthday party, but hardly surprised, as a creature of that size and build could not be expected to travel as easily across the mighty Atlantic Ocean as some of Algy's feathered American friends. Algy is just delighted that Ludwig managed to get here🦖

And Ludwig really needn't have worried, because late-arriving guests are especially welcome at Algy's parties; it's always rather sad when a party ends, and a lovely surprise when extra guests turn up and help to extend the celebrations 🎉

Algy hopes that Ludwig likes sachertorte, because he has saved a piece especially for him… and there are also still plenty of balloons and fluffy guests for Ludwig to play with 😀

in a 2024 taste test by austrian newspaper der standard comparing sachertorte and variants thereof, the original sacher torte from hotel sacher was deemed "too dry" and disappointing. the winner of the blind taste test was a store-brand frozen sachertorte from the supermarket chain spar, which has the advantage of costing one-tenth the price of das original.
