They say our best souvenirs are retained in our memory. Nonetheless, the Imperial Torte is one of the most popular sweet gifts visitors take home from Vienna. Legend has it that a kitchen apprentice created the Imperial Torte in honor of Emperor Franz Josef I to mark the opening of the hotel in 1873. The young scullion Xavier Loibner guarded the recipe with his life, and it has been a secret ever since. Today, its exquisite taste—chocolate icing, tart almonds, and the fusion of chocolate cream and marzipan—still delights. Handmade at the Imperial Hotel, the Torte travels worldwide.
