Christmas Sachertorte
Well known and beloved - in Austria and all around the world
Can you think of a better way to celebrate Christmas than with a wonderful, hand made and traditional Austrian Cake? At Kipferl we make all our Austrian Cakes in our own bakery, fresh every day, following traditional Austrian recipes and using only the finest ingredients.
Like our Sachertorte, with a double layered, light and crumbly chocolate sponge filled with the finest apricot jam, topped with a crunchy chocolate icing. This iconic Austrian Original is popular all over the world, and loved by so many of our customers
The most famous Austrian chocolate cake with two layers of apricot jam and crunchy chocolate icing. A favourite in its hometown Vienna, but equally popular outside of Austria.
Created for Prince Metternich by the young Franz Sacher in 1832, the prince wanted "a special dessert for his guests", and the rest is history.
As the Guardian says: "Soft but firm, delicately chocolatey, luscious with apricot jam – a ‘grown-up chocolate cake’ that gets better with age"
‘Many of our customers, both Austrians and visitors to Vienna, say that our version is at least as good as the original’, but you should try it for yourself!
Sachertorte is also available with a message & candles for celebrations. Please click here for Celebration Cakes.

Dietary and Allergen Advice
Please note that all our products are made fresh in our little bakery in Islington, where we handle ingredients that are used to make all our products. While we do everything possible to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, we still have a very small operation and do not have fully separated production lines, so cross-contamination of ingredients cannot be completely excluded.
In our bakery we use products containing allergens like dairy, nuts, gluten (wheat), egg, sulphites and soya.
If your allergy is severe, please consider carefully whether you choose to consume our food. If you want to be 100% safe, the only option is not to consume any of our products.
