    You probably heard of the famous Sacher Torte from Austria. A delicious chocolaty treat, perfekt for your afternoon coffee time. This version here is not as famous, but definitely as good. It’s an interpretation of the tratitional recipe turned into a cupcake. Try it – tell me what you think – but be warned… it’s a lot of chocolate :)

    Note: I would recommend to do the chocolate ganache one day in advance. The ganache needs some time to cool down and then you have to mix it again so you can pipe it on the cupcakes.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with liners. Meld the couverture chocolate (either in a bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short intervals). The chocolate should not get too hot. Let cool down.

    2. Seperate the eggs. Add half of the convectioner’s sugar to the egg whites and beat until stiff. Do not overbeat or it will get dry.

    3. In a large bowl cream the butter for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the melted couverture and mix for another minute until the mix is cool. Add the egg yolks and the remaining convectioner’s sugar gradually and mix until well incorporated. Add the flour and mix in quick. Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites and fill the prepared liners with the batter (approx. 2/3 full) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

    4. For the ganache chop the couverture into small pieces. Heat up the whipping cream. Stirr constantly and bring to a boil. Pour over the chopped couverture and let sit for a moment. Add butter and honey and mix – start slowly and then mix on highes speed for 3-5 minutes to get a creamy ganache. Let cool in the fridge over night.

    5. For the decoration of the cupcakes heat up the apricot marmalade so it get’s liquid. Take a cupcake corer or knife and cut out the centers of the cupcakes. Fill the holes with the cooled marmalade. Mix the ganache again until light and fluffy (if it get’s too soft, put it back into the fridge for another 15 minutes and mix again). Fill a piping bag with a star tip and decorate the cupcakes with a swirl of ganache.

    1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Cupcakeblech mit Papierförmchen bestücken. Kuvertüre schmelzen (entweder in einer Schüssel im Wasserbad oder kurzen Intervallen in der Mikrowelle). Die Kuvertüre sollte nicht zu heiss werden. Etwas abkühlen lassen.

    2. Die Eier trennen. Eiklar mit der Hälfte des Puderzuckers zu Eischnee schlagen und zur Seite stellen. Nicht zu viel schlagen, sonst wird der Eischnee zu trocken.

    3. In einer großen Schüssel Butter auf höchster Stufe ca. 2 Minuten hellgelb aufschlagen. Geschmolzene Kuvertüre einrühren und etwa 1 Minute mixen, bis die Masse kalt ist. Nach und nach Eigelb und restlichen Puderzucker unterrühren. Das Mehl auf niedriger Stufe kurz unterrühren. Eischnee unterheben. Teig in die Förmchen einfüllen (etwa 2/3 voll) und für 25-30 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt.

    4. Für die die Ganache die Kuvertüre in kleine Stücke hacken. Sahne in einem kleinen Topf erhitzen. Unter ständigem Rühren einmal kurz aufkochen lassen. Über die gehackte Kuvertüre schütten und kurz stehen lassen. Honig und Butter zugeben und alles erst langsam und dann auf höchster Stufe für 3-5 Minuten zu einer cremigen Masse aufschlagen. Über Nacht im Kühlschrank wieder fest werden lassen.

    5. Zum Dekorieren der Cupcakes die Aprikosenmarmelade kurz erhitzen, damit sie flüssiger wird. Mit einem Cupcake Corer oder Messer eine kleine Mulde aus den Cupcakes entfernen. Mit der leicht abgekühlten Marmelade füllen. Die Ganache in der Küchenmaschine aufschlagen, bis eine luftige Creme entsteht (Wenn sie zu weich ist, 15 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen und dann nochmals kurz aufschlagen). In einen Spritzbeutel mit Sterntülle füllen und auf die Cupcakes aufspritzen.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
