Double Chocolate Sacher Brownies
YumDouble Chocolate Sacher Brownies: Franz Sacher who invented the famous cake would love it for sure !
This is one of our winter favourites and it’s also the reason for my commitment to making apricot jam every single summer because we always make The Sacher cake with this kind of jam. To have Sacher cake or brownies combined with apricot jam is definitely the best combination for my son and me. If you have some apricot jam to hand, you’ll see, the result will be amazing !
Of course, the cake and brownies can be made with any other kind of sharp, sour jam, like cherry or raspberry just as well. If you decide to make a portion of these for a weekend or a holiday, try to find a jam of your choice of that type. It gives the dessert a very special flavour.

Sacher Chocolate Cake is out of the ordinary, the most famous Viennese culinary specialty. I have modified the shape only. This recipe, again, is inherited from my grandmother.
