Where can I find the ecipe for german chocolate cake, or Saschartort?

Answer 1

First -- they're two VERY different things. German chocolate cake is a light chocolate cake served with icing made of caramel, coconut and pecans; traditionally it's not iced around the edges, but just between the layers and on top of the cake. This was my brother's favorite birthday cake growing up, and I still enjoy it today.

Sacher torte (or sachertorte, if you want to use a search engine to find recipes) is MY favorite birthday cake. It's a dark chocolate cake layered with raspberry jam (originally apricot), traditionally iced with chocolate mousse and then covered in dark chocolate ganache. Named for the Hotel Sacher in Vienna where the dessert was invented in the early 1800s, this was the subject of some heated debate, as related in the Larousse Gastronomique:

"For years, Vienna was divided into two camps by the sachertorte controversy. The supporters of sachertorte as it was served at the Sacher Hotel -- two layers separated by jam, the top being iced -- were led by the descendants of Franz Sacher, who regarded their version as the only authentic one. On the other side were the customers of the famous Demel patisserie, who based their claim on the rights acquired by Edouard Demel from Sacher's grandson, who authorized the so-called 'true' recipe (the cake is simply spread with jam then covered with the icing), as published in Die Wiener Konditorei by Hans Skrach. The Sacher Hotel finally won the day in court at the end of a case which fascinated Vienna for six years. Demel replied by claiming that his was the Ur-Sachertorte (the original cake)."

Wonderful things, both, but I'll take a sachertorte any day...
