The Origins of the Torte: A Dessert of Royalty
The recipe for chocolate torte has its origins rooted in European culinary tradition. Hailing from Austria, the most famous rendition of this decadent delight, the Sachertorte, was created in 1832 in Vienna by one Franz Sacher.
At 16 years old, this young apprentice in the court and kitchen of Prince Metternich was tasked with creating a “special” dessert. (Not that kind of special: that comes later.) With the head chef ill, VIP guests pouring in, and the consequences of failure dire, Sacher got to work designing the legendary reinvention of the cake to lavish upon the court’s guests.
The result was magnanimous success! Creating the Sachertorte, the OG chocolate torte recipe, the young apprentice had concocted a simple but sinfully delightful variation of a chocolate cake. The dense, layered, and, most of all, delectable dessert secured both his and his creation’s place in Viennese history while also allowing him to keep his head connected to his shoulders. (The debated history of the torte recipe even went insofar as to initiate divisive cross-border legal battles with other dessert pioneers of the 1800s.)
Today, variations of this recipe for the Sacher-inspired chocolate torte have spread across the globe, with each region adding its unique twist and flair. Combining simplicity with luxury (and tasting damn good with ice cream!), this historical wonder continues to captivate chocolate connoisseurs the world over.
And Then We Added Weed!
It’s like a chocolate space cake but with a bit more punch!
Look, we can split hairs over the differences between a torte and a cake until we’re bald. Admittedly, this particular recipe sits somewhere in between while also attempting something a dash healthier and more subtle than Sacher’s royalty-charming invention. But goddamn if it don’t slap!
