Ingredients
While the original Sachertorte is known for its dense and rich chocolate cake, the Bosnian Sachertorte incorporates the use of traditional Bosnian ingredients and flavors. Instead of the traditional apricot jam, we will be using a homemade rosehip jam, which adds a unique and fragrant twist to the cake. Additionally, we will be infusing the cake with a hint of Bosnian coffee, giving it a distinct and bold flavor. We alse have the original recipe for Sachertorte, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...
- Dark chocolate — Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the best flavor.
- Rosehip jam — If you can't find rosehip jam, you can substitute it with apricot or raspberry jam.
- Bosnian coffee — Use a strong and finely ground Bosnian coffee for a robust flavor in the cake.
Tips & Tricks
- To ensure a moist and tender cake, do not overmix the batter once the flour is added.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before pouring the glaze to prevent it from melting.
- Serve the Bosnian Sachertorte with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- This cake tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together.
Serving advice
Serve each slice of Bosnian Sachertorte on a dessert plate, accompanied by a cup of Bosnian coffee or a glass of sweet dessert wine. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color.
Presentation advice
For an elegant presentation, dust the serving plates with powdered sugar before placing the cake slices. Drizzle some additional rosehip jam on the plates for a decorative touch. Serve the cake slices with a side of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
