Sacher-Torte Day 2023: Every December 5, Sacher-Torte Day lets us indulge in sweets. This day honors the cake’s deliciousness and how it has satisfied millions of people for centuries. Tortes are often considered cake variants. Tortes have a tighter crumb and thicker base than cakes due to their ingredients.
Vienna is famous for its Sacher-Torte. Franz Sacher, an Austrian pastry chef, created Sacher-Torte for Prince Clemens Lothar Wensel Metternich in 1832.
The Prince requested a fresh dessert since he loves new foods. The kitchen workers panicked when the chief chef got sick. Franz Sacher had a culinary insight when no one knew what to cook. Sacher, a 16-year-old, used his wits and supplies to make a famous chocolate cake. The prodigy ran various cafes and eateries. The Sacher-Torte was his most famous creation, establishing his genius and wealth. Eduard Sacher, Franz’s son, opened a magnificent Vienna hotel in 1876. As expected, the Sacher-Torte became a hotel mainstay. Eduard’s wife Anna Sacher managed the hotel, which became popular. Anna Sacher, known for her love of cigars and dogs, made the hotel popular with diplomats, nobles, and socialites.
