On this gloomy Tuesday it's exactly a year ago since I left Vienna after a wine tasting festival in the Austrian vineyards with a dear friend. On my way back to the airport I made a little detour to the famous Hotel Sacher because I simply couldn't resist to indulge in one of my favourite activities: EAT CAKE. To eat amazing cake to be more specific. It was a lovely morning and I was the only guest on the terrace, with the sun in my face, view of the grand Wiener Staatsoper, flashbacks to a prior visit to Vienna (and Hotel Sacher) with my mom years before: happy memories! Once again including food I just realised- I'm so predictable. Within minutes a steaming cup of hot chocolate reached my table (yes I know it was summer, but when in Rome, I mean, Vienna), quickly followed by the object of my affection: a slice of Sacher Torte...
Instead of moping about the fact that I'm not in the sun at Hotel Sacher as we speak, I challenged myself to bake a little piece of chocolate heaven instead. Results so far: kitchen looks like something exploded, I nearly forgot half the eggs, my oven is acting like a jerk, there's chocolate everywhere and my faith in humanity (a.k.a. just my baking skills) is gone.
The recipe, an honest review & the pictures to prove it will follow, so stay tuned... Wish me luck!!
