Chocolate Cake Church

Hot, as one might say, on the heels of the news of the cake burning in Germany, we look at Austria, its smaller and once annexed neighbour for what many see as the ultimate devotion. “How,” they ask, “can any other cake, any other Torte, offer so much to The Chocolatey Mistress? How?” And they bow their heads in silent contemplation of the rich chocolatiness, the apricot tartness, and they wonder.

I have been privileged to partake of Cake at the Hotel Sacher itself. Were The Chocolate Church to have buildings in which to worship, this would be a shrine! And eating the glorious Torte in the premises where it was conceived… Deep joy.

Sachertorte, properly served with an Einspänner, as a devotional item is close to, if not the absolute ultimate devotion.

While the global headquarters of The Chocolate Cake Church is non geographical, The Hotel Sacher must surely come close!

Better yet, if you are a hotel guest, when you leave and check out, the hotel gives small cakelets in glorious gold boxes for the guests to take away.

Devotion, luxury, chocolate!
