National Sacher Torte Day is a celebration of the Sacher Torte, a classic Austrian dessert. The Sacher Torte is a rich chocolate cake layered with apricot jam and coated in a smooth chocolate glaze. Traditionally, it’s served with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream.

The cake was invented in 1832 by Franz Sacher, an apprentice chef, for Prince Wenzel von Metternich in Vienna. The dessert is now iconic, with the original recipe being a closely guarded secret of the Hotel Sacher in Vienna.

National Sacher Torte Day is observed annually on December 5th, making it a delightful opportunity to indulge in this sophisticated and historic treat. While its origins are Austrian, the day provides a chance for chocolate lovers worldwide to enjoy or try making this dessert.
