Better luck next week

Another dense European cake. Similar to the Austrian Linzer Torte, the Sacher Torte was created at the Viennese Sacher Hotel and you can even have it shipped to you if you want to try the original. It's a multi-step process that results in a really dry cake! Dark chocolate, butter and hazelnut paste are melted/egg yolks and sugar are whipped/flour, cocoa powder and ground hazelnuts are combined/egg whites and sugar are whipped...then all this is mixed and baked. Once cooled, it's sliced in half and filled with apricot jam, then ganache is poured over it. The word "sacher" should be piped on every slice to make it authentic, but I like my hearts better. All that work for something that didn't even taste that great!
