The Sachertorte is a rich and decadent dessert that is originally from Vienna, Austria. It was first created in 1832 by Franz Sacher for Prince Wenzel von Metternich. Since then, it has become the most famous chocolate cake in Austria. This classic cake is moist and rich, with a layer of apricot jam that adds a fruity touch to the chocolate. It is typically served with whipped cream on top, making it a showstopper dessert for any special occasion.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2.In a large bowl, cream the butter and superfine sugar together until light and fluffy. Melt the chocolate over medium heat in a double boiler and let cool slightly.
3.Add the melted chocolate to the butter mixture and mix until well combined. Add the flour and mix until just combined.
4.In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. In another medium bowl, beat the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
5.Add the egg yolk mixture to the chocolate batter and mix until well combined. Gently fold in the egg whites.
6.Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick of cake tester comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan.
7.Place the water and apricot jam in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
8.Stir in the Cointreau liqueur or orange liqueur and continue to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the mixture has thickened.
9.Remove the cake from the pan and slice horizontally in half. Spread the apricot jam mixture on the bottom half.
