Sacher
Sacher is the French term for a famous type of chocolate cake originating from Vienna.
Did you know?
- Because Sacher is a proper name, it remains invariable in French, meaning it does not take an 's' even when referring to multiple cakes.
- In French culinary circles, the 'Sacher' is often contrasted with the Forêt-Noire, as both are viewed as the quintessential German-speaking imports of the chocolate cake world.
- In high-end French dining, you might see it written as 'Gâteau Sacher', but the word 'Sacher' itself remains untouched by French grammar or spelling.

- Je voudrais commander un gâteau Sacher, s'il vous plaît.I would like to order a Sacher cake, please.
