The Austrian cake is the überleckere Sacher torte, maybe it's from all European bakes the least suitable for children. It's a bit of work to make it and the bitter dark chocolate flavor is more for chocaholics ;) But if you serve the cake with whipped cream it may perhaps be received better than expected ...
