I would put a highier cocoa content dark chocolate,, at least 75%. Milk chocolate is too sweet and doesn;t have much true chocolate flavor. To me 39% just isn;t real chcolate.
This recipe may be fine, but it is NOT a traditional Sacher Torte, which I know because I'm from Austria and have baked many many many Sacher Torten. The glaze of a real Sacher Torte is NEVER ganache (chocolate and cream), but a special mixture of sugar syrup and chocolate, sometimes with a little added fat (butter or coconut oil).
@CarameliaM Ohhhhhh, ich bin SOOO interessiert auf Dein originales Rezept!! Teile es doch bitte mit uns! Ich würde mich sehr darüber freuen, zumal ich solch eine Torte für wahrscheinlich für meine Eltern backen möchte. Danke :-)
This is a super recipe, works really well. I made it 50% bigger and messed up the ganache a bit by using 33% 'whipping cream' as nothing else was available. It really needs to be English style double pouring cream, about 40%. I used the thin ganache for hot chocolate and made more using the right sort of cream. This is worthwhile knowing for other people outside the UK, as double cream isn't a standard in Czech, Germany etc.
@loaded2820 you can buy 'heavy cream', if you can find it. heavy cream is basically cream, which is more versatile than the commercial whipping cream.
sweet lord, that looks amazing!
