The Original Sacher Torte

Original Sacher Torte
This is the world’s most famous chocolate cake! Its recipe is a well-kept secret since 1832. Taste its unique flavour and give it away as a surprise present!

The story of the legendary chocolate cake filled with apricot jam began in 1832. Franz Sacher was a 16-year old apprentice at the court of Prince Metternich when he was asked to create an especially delicious dessert for distinguished guests. The guests loved it and it became known as the Sacher Torte.

Cafe Sacher Vienna

Today, the Sacher Torte is exported across the world. More than 360,000 Original Sacher Torten are produced every year in exactly the same way as 175 years ago.



Enjoy the original in Vienna or Salzburg, Innsbruck or Graz! Or even at home. There are many recipes freely available on the internet. There are also many mail-order businesses that will sell and deliver their version of the cake, worldwide.
