NATIONAL BLACK FOREST CAKE DAY – March 28

National Black Forest Cake Day

On National Black Forest Cake Day, the decadent and delectable dessert on National Black Forest Cake Day is commemorated. Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte, the German word for the German dessert Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte, means Black Forest cherry torte.

To make Black Forest cake, bakers layer several sheets of chocolate cake with whipped cream and cherries between each layer. They decorated the cake with whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and chocolate shavings. Sour cherries are mixed in the layers and a Kirschwasser (a clear liquor distilled from tart cherries) can be added to the cake, according to some traditional recipes. Bakers in the United States do not use alcohol in their baking process. However, liqueur is a mandatory ingredient in Germany, but it is not necessary in Germany. Otherwise, the cake will not be sold under the Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte name.

The cake is named after the region of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) mountain range in southwestern Germany's region of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) mountain range.

When baking Black Forest cake, bakers, and pastry chefs create sophisticated displays. Bakers have a chance to create unique pieces thanks to the combination of rich chocolate layered with contrasting color and bold red cherries. Our decadent interpretations leave us with wonderful memories and a delectable piece of cake to enjoy as well.
