Cake "Sacher"

Chocolate cake "Sacher" This cake is a product of the culinary art of Austrian confectioner Franz Zaher. And it was like this: in 1832, the confectionery, where 16-year-old Franz was studying, received a large order for making sweet treats for very honorable guests. The chef on that day lay down on sickness and the order was taken by his young "apprentice". And though the cake was liked by all the guests, they forgot about it for many years. And only when Fanc Sacher opened his own confectionery, his cake received universal recognition. There are 2 main ways to prepare a cake "Sacher": cut the sponge cake horizontally and apply both layers of jam or apply it only on top of the cake and then pour the cake with sweet. The history of these two ways is due to the scandal surrounding the copyright of the cake, but this is a completely different story.
