Baklava
 Baklava is a Mediterranean dessert made with Phyllo dough, nuts, butter, and sugar. Once baked to perfection, baklava is soaked in sweet syrup. Although many ethnic groups claim Baklava as their own, it is widely believed that around the 8th century B.C., Assyrians enjoyed this sumptuous treat. Saraj uses highest quality walnut/pecans mix and butter and own recipe syrup for the Baklava. INGREDIENTS: Phyllo pastry, butter, sugar, walnut and pecan mix, raisins, lemon.

Dobos Torte
 A famous Austro-Hungarian creations. Joszef Dobos was French master chef, Auguste Escoffier's counterpart in Hungary, creating his culinary extravaganzas during the same period. Like Escoffier, his name became known well beyond his country's borders. Dobos introduced his most famous invention, the Dobos Torte: an amazingly thin five-layer cake, each baked separately and caramel crown. It was impressive indeed, but it was the cake's profusion of chocolate butter cream that literally put Dobos torte on everyone's lips. Saraj keeps the tradition alive by following the original recipe to the very detail. INGREDIENTS: Butter, eggs, flour, Caillebaut dark chocolate, sugar, rum.

Sacher Torte
The original Sacher (pronounced 'ZA-ker') Torte has been the world's most famous cake since 1832 and the original recipe remains a well-kept secret of the Sacher Hotel. The world-famous torte originated in 1832, when the 16-year-old apprentice Franz Sacher, who had to substitute for the sick chef at Prince Metternich´s court, created a desert for particularly demanding guests: the original Sacher-Torte. It consists of two layers of dense, not overly-sweet, chocolate dough, with a thin layer of apricot jam in the middle, and dark chocolate icing with chocolate shavings on the top and sides. It is traditionally served with unsweetened whipped cream. INGREDIENTS: Butter, eggs, flour, sugar, Caillebaut dark chocolate, apricot jam. |

Schwarzwald Torte (Black Forest Cake)
This wonderful chocolate confection is called Schwarzwälderkirschtorte in German, which means Black Forest Cherry Torte. It is a chocolate layer cake with Kirsch, whipped cream, sour cherries and chocolate curls. Historians believe it originated in the late 16th century in the Black Forest Region of Baden-Württemberg. This region is known for its sour cherries and Kirsch (or Kirschwasser), a double distilled, clear cherry brandy made from the sour Morello cherry. Saraj\'s Schwarzwald torte is our take on this timeless classic. INGREDIENTS: eggs, butter, chocolate, sour cherries, kirsch, whipping cream, sugar, cinnamon. |
