Sachertorte
"This famous Viennese cake is a dense, dry chocolate cake. Each layer is spread with a thin layer of apricot glaze, and the cake is topped with chocolate ganache. When I first tasted this torte its dryness was a surprise, but I soon learned to love it. It is meant to be dipped into fresh whipped cream, which moistens it. Recipe from A World of Cake by Krystina Castella/Storey Publishing, 2011...."
