I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Sachertorte bites didn't turn out very well. The cake was dry and the ganache was too thick.

The chocolate ganache was a bit too thick. I would recommend adding more cream or milk to it.

These Sachertorte bites are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the cake batter.

I'm not a big fan of apricot jam, so I substituted it with raspberry jam instead. It turned out great!

I've made this recipe several times now and it always turns out perfect. The chocolate cake is moist and rich, and the apricot jam filling is tart and tangy. The chocolate ganache is the perfect finishing touch.
