About

Black Forest gateau, (German: Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte [ˈʃvaʁt͡svɛldɐ ˈkɪʁʃˌtɔʁtə] , lit. 'Black Forest cherry torte') or Black Forest cake, is a layer cake made out of sponge cake flavoured with cocoa powder, cherries, Kirsch, and whipped cream, with dark chocolate as a decoration. The origins of the cake and its name are disputed. However, the cake's recipe from 1927 is kept at an archive in Radolfzell, Germany.
