NATIONAL BLACK FOREST CAKE DAY – March 28

To make Black Forest cake, bakers layer several sheets of chocolate cake with whipped cream and cherries between each layer. Then they decorated the cake with whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and chocolate shavings. Some traditional recipes call for sour cherries between the layers and a Kirschwasser (a clear liquor distilled from tart cherries) to be added to the cake. Bakers in the United States do not use alcohol often. However, liqueur is a mandatory ingredient in Germany, but it is not required in Germany. Otherwise, the cake will not be sold under the Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte name..

In southwestern Germany, the cake is named after the region of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) mountain range.

When baking Black Forest cake, bakers, and pastry chefs create elegant displays. The combination of rich chocolate layered with contrasting color and bold red cherries gives bakers the opportunity to create unique pieces. We're left with a wonderful memory and a sweet piece of cake to enjoy as well as a decadent interpretation.
