Sachertorte, 12.29.2024
Our best friends were two of the people who tried and failed to see Taylor Swift in Vienna over the summer, and the resulting mishaps soured them on their Austria trip. So when we planned to spend New Year’s Eve together, I promised I’d make a sachertorte that would (hopefully) not be as dry and disappointing as their first.
A bold promise, baking a brand new recipe with limited ingredient access at altitude, but I think I pulled it off. Loved the glaze technique for a gelatin-free mirror effect too, just would do it over a cooling rack next time to avoid the weird skirt.
