Chocolate Pastry

2007 finals - 'Sacher Modern' - Austria
The Sacher Torte is a mythos in Austrian pastry - and maybe the most famous chocolate cake in the world!
Leopold Forsthofer's intention was to create a modern version of the original Sacher cake with its basic flavours. What would Edouard Sacher - the inventor - have created if he had known today's pastry techniques? 
This Sacher cake is a chocolate sponge cake without flour, that gives a very soft and moisten structure. The center is a fuit layer of apricots, embedded in an "Alto El Sol" chocolate mousse. The covering is a dark shiny chocolate glaze.
