Black Forest gâteau
The famous German chocolate sponge cake with cherry filling 🍫🍒
The Black Forest gâteau is a cake with serveral layers of chocolaty cake bases, whipped cream and cherries. But the most important part is the "kirschwasser" which is a colorless brandy made from double distillation of cherries. The kirschwasser is added to the cake bases after baking, so that the bases stay moist.
The "Schwärzwälder Kirschtorte" which how it is called in German has a total of six layers:
- whipped cream 🥛
- chocolate cake base 🍫
