I liked it very much, but I adored my husband's sachertorte, a dark chocolate cake spread with apricot jam and covered with a deeply flavorful dark-chocolate ganache. The cakes are on the dry side, but the dryness strikes a good balance with the moist jams, fillings and frostings, not to mention the fluffy little dab of whipped cream on the side.
