The cake is named not directly after the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) mountain range in southwestern Germany but rather from the specialty liquor of that region, known as Schwarzwälder Kirsch(wasser) and distilled from tart cherries. This is the ingredient, with its distinctive cherry pit flavor and alcoholic content, that gives the cake its flavor. Cherries, cream, and Kirsch were first combined in the form of a dessert in which cooked cherries were served with cream and Kirschwasser, while a cake combining cherries, cookies/biscuits and cream (but without Kirschwasser) probably originated in Germany.

This cake was made with a rich chocolate cake, cherries & whipped cream filling, whipped cream icing and shaved chocolate on the sides. The cake is four layers with both whipped cream and cherries in between the layers. Super moist and delicious . . . . . . . this one is a keeper!
