Let's start

First we do the base. I backed a chocolate sponge cake and gave him some time to get cold.

Cutting in slices

Now we start from the bottom adding some cherries and whipped cream.

The Definition

Black Forest cake or Black Forest gâteau is a chocolate sponge cake with a rich cherry filling based on the German dessert Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte literally "Black Forest Cherry-torte".

Typically, Black Forest cake consists of several layers of chocolate sponge cake sandwiched with whipped cream and cherries. It is decorated with additional whipped cream, maraschino or real cherries, and chocolate shavings. In some European traditions, sour cherries are used both between the layers and for decorating the top.

Traditionally, kirschwasser, a clear spirit made from sour cherries, is added to the cake, but in our case we don’t use any alcohol.

Other spirits are sometimes used, such as rum, which is common in Austrian recipes. German law mandates that kirschwasser must be present in the cake for it to be labelled a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.
