Franz Sacher, at the age of 16, created it for Prince Metternich, and it rapidly became a popular Viennese dessert.
The cake was popular in Vienna's café scene, representing sophistication and luxury among the wealthy.
Hotel Sacher and Demel Bakery disputed the cake's validity, resulting in the trademark "Original Sacher-Torte."
As Vienna became a cultural hub, Sacher Torte gained international recognition and became an iconic dessert.
Sacher Torte has become a symbol of Viennese tradition and chocolate indulgence, as seen in movies, literature, and other media.
