Sacher-style cake

Spread the love

Ingredients for 12 servings:

  • 100 g butter
  • 150 g sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 3 egg whites
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ⅛ liter milk
  • 100 g chocolate
  • 150 g flour
  • Apricot jam
  • Chocolate (cooking chocolate)

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Beat 3 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Then cream together the butter, sugar, egg yolks, and softened chocolate until fluffy. Combine the baking powder and flour, then stir in the milk. Fold in the egg whites. Grease and flour a 20cm cake tin. Pour in the batter and bake on the lowest rack at 170°C to 200°C for about 1 hour. Once the cake has cooled, cut it in half horizontally once or twice and fill it with apricot jam. Spread the jam over the top and all around. Then glaze with melted cooking chocolate (I always use cooking chocolate + margarine, which makes the glaze look nicer).
