Authentic Black Forest Cake (Schwarzwald Kirsch Kuchen)
Black Forest g?teau and Black Forest cake are the English names for the German dessert Schwarzw?lder Kirschtorte, literally “Black Forest cherry-torte”, where it originated. As a German woman, it breaks my heart to see all of these ‘black forest cakes’ in North America made with sickeningly sweet icing and gross cherry pie filling.This cake isn’t meant to be very sweet but is rather a dessert for adults with deep rich flavours and enough alcohol to make your head spin! If you cannot get fresh cherries you can use canned Bing cherries but please do not use cherry pie filling because it will take away from the authentic taste of the cake. If can’t find Kirsch do not use another type of alcohol because it will not turn out the same – instead use cherry juice. Because of the high alcohol content only serve this to adults.
