World-famous pies come from Austria – especially the Viennese Sachertorte, followed by the equally well-known Linzer Torte. We want to go here a little to the bottom – or cake bottom – the two sweet specialties. What stories are hidden behind the traditional desserts for Nasch-Katzen?
The Sachertorte: a sweet original from Vienna
The Sachertorte is today a traditional bakery of Viennese cuisine. In 1832, chef-apprentice Franz Sacher created the famous chocolate cake for Prince Metternich – because the chef himself was ill. Some years later, Sacher set out to conquer the world – with his own delicatessen shop in Vienna. His son Eduard was the one at the k.u.k. Hofzucker bakery Demel further refined the Sacher cake and completed today’s original recipe.
In the 1870s he opened the now world famous Hotel Sacher, which he and his wife Anna ran. (By the way: after Anna Sacher, one of Vienna’s most exclusive top restaurants was named!) Her son Eduard continued the cake tradition at Demel – as “Eduard Sacher Torte”. To this day, the name “Sacher-Torte” is the hotel Sacher secured, while coming from the also highly regarded home of Demel “Demel Sachertorte”.
