Black Forest Cake
The Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cake) is perhaps the best known specialty from the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) region. This is a cake with multiple (usually 4) layers of chocolate sponge cake, cherries, and whipped cream. It is frosted with whipped cream and covered with chocolate shavings and a few cherries for decoration. Kirschwasser (cherry schnapps) is used to flavor the whipped cream. The bottom layers of sponge cake are also brushed with Kirschwasser (cherry schnaps) to provide moisture and a little extra flavor.
