Black Forest cake, also known as Black Forest gateau, is a rich and decadent German dessert. It typically consists of several layers of chocolate sponge cake sandwiched with whipped cream and cherries. The cake is decorated with additional whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and chocolate shavings. The name comes from the region of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in southwestern Germany, although the cake itself does not have direct origins there. Traditionally, it includes a small amount of Kirschwasser, a clear cherry brandy, to enhance the cherry flavor.
