Individual Sachertortes

Sachertorte is the most famous cake in Vienna, and one of the most famous in the world. It is a rich and festive chocolate cake, filled and topped with apricot jam and covered in chocolate glaze. It is typically served with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

While most commonly baked in a 9" cake pan, these individual tortes are just perfect for a small dinner party, or—if doubled—a holiday dessert buffet. The single-serving size also means no cutting and less mess, which is a boon for a busy hostess.

Made from just a handful of simple, readily available ingredients, Sachertortes are a unique and indulgent offering to serve up to your guests this season. And you don’t have to fly to Vienna to enjoy it!
