643. Sachertorte If someone decided they were going to make up a new cake just for me, they would probably come up with something along the lines of a sachertorte. Chocolate + either apricot or cherry (in this case apricot) is just one of the best combinations that exists in any foods, in all the world, ever. Sachertorte is also surprisingly light; the sponge is super airy and not too sweet and pairs perfectly with the thin layers of apricot jam and rich chocolate ganache. I had this in Wally’s Deli in Cardiff, which was opened years ago by an Austrian man, so their cafe is filled with lots of authentic Austrian cakes (and that country knows their cakes). I need to go back soon so I can give the linzertorte a try! 643 down, 1153 to go
