Boil water with granulated sugar for a few minutes at a high heat, then remove from heat and let cool for several minutes.
Chop up the cooking chocolate and dissolve little by little in the still-warm sugar solution until a thick, smooth glaze is created.
The glaze should remain viscous and be kept lukewarm.
If it is too hot, it will not have any gloss and will remain dull after hardening.
Pour the glaze over the torte and quickly smooth with two or three strokes of a spatula.
Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Tips:
• Never put a Sachertorte in the refrigerator, otherwise the glaze will start to sweat.
• Since the recipe of the original Sachertorte has been a closely guarded secret since 1832, this Sacher glaze is not the original recipe.
