As you probably know, I don't often post non-Greek recipes; this time I will make an exception, since Black Forest Gteau has always been one of my most favorite cakes. Not only that but I have been preparing it for many-many years, hence this recipe has been tried and tested several times!
Black Forest Gteau is a German chocolate and cream cake with a rich cherry filling.
Traditionally, it consists of several layers of chocolate sponge cake dampened with Kirschwasser (a clear liqueur made from sour cherries), sandwiched with whipped cream and cherries. It is decorated with additional whipped cream, (maraschino) cherries, and chocolate shavings. A classic, beloved Dessert that can be prepared anytime of the year for any celebration e.g. birthday, anniversary etc.
