SACHER-TORTE
the Worlds most famoUs CaKe
By LADIES' CIRCLE DENMARK, from the LCI Recipe Book
The Original Sacher-Torte, is the consequence of several lucky twists of fate. The first was in 1832, when the Austrian State Chancellor, Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich, tasked his kitchen staff with concocting an extraordinary dessert to impress his special guests. As fortune had it, the chef had fallen ill that evening, leaving the apprentice chef, the then-16-year-old Franz Sacher, to perform this culinary magic trick. Metternich’s parting words to the talented teenager: “I hope you won’t disgrace me tonight.” (quoted from Sacher) and he didn´t.. we truly love it!
Preparation 15 min Cooking 30 min
INGREDIENTS
The Cake: 130 g dark couverture chocolate (min. 55% cocoa content) 1 vanilla Pod 150 g softened butter 100g icing sugar 100g castor sugar 6 eggs 140 g plain wheat flour 200 g apricot jam
The Glaze: 200 g castor sugar 125 ml water 130 g dark couverture chocolate (min. 55% cocoa content) in Addition: Unsweetend whipped cream to garnish DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 170°C. Line the base of a springform with baking paper, grease the sides, and dust with a little flour. Melt 130 g couverture over boiling water. Let cool slightly. Slit vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Using a hand mixer with whisks, beat the softened butter with the icing sugar and vanilla seeds until bubbles appear. Separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks into the butter mixture one by one. Now gradually add melted couverture chocolate. Beat the egg whites with 100g of the castor sugar until stiff, then place on top of the butter and chocolate mixture. Sift the flour over the mixture, then fold in the flour and beaten egg whites. Transfer the mixture to the springform, smooth the top, and bake in the oven (middle rack) for 10–15 minutes, leaving the oven door a finger’s width ajar. Then close the oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes. (The cake is done when it yields slightly to the touch.) Remove the cake from the oven and loosen the sides of the springform. Carefully tip the cake onto a cake rack lined with baking paper and let cool for approximately 20 minutes. Then pull off the baking paper, turn the cake over, and leave on rack to cool completely. Cut the cake in half horizontally. Warm the jam and stir until smooth. Brush the top of both cake halves with the jam and place one on top of the other. Brush the sides with the jam as well. To make the glaze, put 200 g of castor sugar into a saucepan with 125 ml water and boil over high heat for approximately 5 minutes. Take the sugar syrup off the stove and leave to cool a little. Coarsely chop 150g of couverture, gradually adding it to the syrup, and stir until it forms a thick liquid. Pour all the lukewarm glaze liquid at once over the top of the cake and quickly spread using a palette knife. Leave the glaze to set for a few hours. Serve garnished with whipped cream, and Enjoy!

DUAL THEME COINSLAST CHANGE TO GET SOME!
ROUND TABLE INTERNATIONAL and Ladies' Circle International has agreed to a joint theme for the year. The theme of StrongerTogether showcases our shared values and goals, while the unique designs of the theme show that we are still separate organisations.
To celebrate this joint theme, we have created a limited-edition coin with the different designs of the joint theme on each side. Stock is very limited, and these coins can only be obtained by attending an offi cial side-by-side meeting. Tablers can only receive the coin from a board member of LCI, and Circlers can only get this coin from a member of the RTI Board. This encourages all members to join our sister organisation events for an opportunity to own an extremely rare piece of International regalia.
