Bake 2.23: Sachertorte

Technical, curtesy of Mary Berry, the Sachertorte. I used the recipe here. It is a lovely chocolate torte with a layer of apricot jam in the middle, and a ganache. 

If you are Austrian you probably have  feelings about how this cake is famous, but I think that may only be in Austria? Not to burst any bubbles but I thought it was fine. I like my normal chocolate cake recipe better. The apricot was a delightful new combination with the chocolate however, I wasn't sure what to expect there and it lifted the floral nature of the chocolate and balanced nicely. 

It is a simple cake to make and doesn't take too long either, a good shift from more complicated bakes if you want a nice weeknight treat! Yum!
