This classic German dessert, known here as the Black Forest, is made of a luscious chocolate cake, soaked in cherry juice, layers of freshly whipped cream and a layer of sweet cherries.
Traditionally, the cake is made from layers of luscious chocolate sponge cake, which is then moistened with cherry juice. The chocolate layers are then stuck together with sweet cream, to which a layer of stewed cherries is added in the middle. It can be described in another way: it is the perfect combination of a cake with a rich chocolate flavour followed by layers full of fruit flavour. The icing on the cake is the whipped cream, to which a slight vanilla flavour is added. Is this enough to make the Black Forest Cake your next dessert?
The sweet cherries can also be replaced in the recipe with BAM cherry topping. BAM cherry topping goes perfectly well with both savoury and sweet dishes. It contains more than 70% juicy and slightly sour pitted cherries and as such is also suitable for the Black Forest cake .
