For storytellers
Why Hotel Sacher matters
The Sachertorte is Vienna's best-known cake: dense chocolate sponge with apricot jam and a glossy glaze. The Sacher Hotel café serves it with whipped cream, and it has a long-running friendly rivalry with another Vienna bakery over who makes the original.
Talking points
- The cake has apricot jam under the chocolate.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
- It's right behind the opera.
