This is a good chocolate cake recipe. However, it is missing 2 key ingredients for the famous Austrian Sachertorte. Well worth making, though.

Just made this recipe again and have been reminded of how awesome it is. It looks a little complicated at first, but is actually quite easy compared to other Sachertorte recipes I've seen. And it's pretty versatile. I often substitute other fruit preserves and types of alcohol. My new favorite is using cherry preserves and amaretto liqueur. I also add a little flavor and moisture by brushing a little bit of whatever liqueur I'm using onto the cake before spreading on the fruit filling. This recipe is definitely worth the effort.

This recipe was easy to follow and the result was delicious! I gave it to a friend as a birthday gift and she loved it.

Instead of using a double boiler for heating the chocolate, I tried Jacques Torres' method of heating it in a microwave in 30 second intervals. That worked quite well and saved a little time too.

This is a fairly expensive dessert to put together, mostly because of the bittersweet chocolate, but it is definately worth every penny. It was very simple to put together too, Wolfgang makes it look easy simply because it is very easy. Great way to impress your friends.
