The Austrian Coffee Cake, or Wiener Turkentorte, is a classic Viennese dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. This rich, moist cake is the perfect treat to enjoy with your morning cup of coffee or tea. It is typically made with layers of sponge cake and filled with apricot preserves or jam. This recipe adds a unique twist by adding strong black coffee and rum to the mixture, giving it a rich, flavorful taste. The addition of whipped cream and toasted slivered almonds on top make it even more decadent.
