ABOUT GEMMA STAFFORD & BIGGER BOLDER BAKING
A decade of baking bigger and bolder with home bakers like you!

I’ve been fortunate to share my bold baking style with millions of fans on television and online: Netflix’s “Nailed It!”, Food Network’s “Best Baker in America”, "Baker's Dozen" on Hulu, and segments produced for "The Today Show".

This channel, my website, and my two cookbooks all build on my career as a professional chef, which has seen me work in every kind of baking setting you can imagine – from a rundown Tuscan villa, to an Irish priory, to a Michelin-starred restaurant. I’ve had to become creative, imaginative, and bold…and that’s what I want to bring to every one of my “Bold Bakers"!

yummm i do love an austrian cake. had a austrian executive chef many years ago who loved to do a bit of baking on the side. his cakes were stupendous! it would appear that most austrian cakes he made didn't require flour, or very little. his almond flour cake with a custard based icing was the best thing i have ever had. that cake was still as fresh and tasty after a week as when made.

Hi Gemma!
The idea of whipping the egg whites separately is a good idea.
In tasting Sacher cakes from different bakeries in Vienna, I have never seen one with a rounded top. The cake is usually flipped to cool after baking, then a fine jam is brushed on to set overnight. The next day the process continues with/without filling and a perfect chocolate "Ganache" is applied.
I received my recipe from an Austrian lady; the original cake is indeed time-consuming.

Looks delicious. If im not mistaken i thought she said she would mix the rest of egg whites after the flour has been folded in? Did i miss something.?

[lindacline]

I had one of these in Vienna and ate so much...in fact...I had two of them! They were so rich, I was awake for a week!!! 🤣🤣🤣 They are de-li-cious😍 I still have the boxes they were sold in 35 years ago.
Great job. Easier than I thought.
