There's something about the idea of sachertorte made with apricots that seem
to conjure up "sachertorte." When I hear raspberries and cherries and that
sort of thing, I think of other types of cakes made with chocolate, of
which there seem to be plenty of. Don't our tastes run different, for I
never have liked the combination of raspberries and chocolate, always biting
into an unnamed choc/raspberry chocolate and putting it aside - price of the
box of chocolates never being a consideration. One time many years ago, a
friend of mine baked me a cake for a going away present party. Believe it
or not, it was ?? chocolate decadent?? isn't that the one made with
raspberries and chocolate -- Needless to say, I'll never forget it -- tee
hee!
