On this day I want to introduce the famous Black Forest cake of German origin. It consists of a cocoa cake, whipped cream, red fruits (cherries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries) syrup flavored with kirsch and all of it covered with chocolate shavings. Originally in its composition only enter as filling cherries with the cream (usually without sugar) and nuts as well as decorative chips or flakes of chocolate.
Later the black forest cake has been adapting to the changes taking personal taste, but basically with the ingredients listed above. Despite being a cake with high fat content, both from the cream and chocolate and sweetness is not cloying, since we can modify this to provide sweetness leaving itself the chocolate and fruit, not adding sugar to the cream. Particularly, I like black forest cake make filling it with cream and berries and covering the outer layer with truffle, later covered with chocolate chips and decorate it with a source of chocolate. The black forest cake is very refreshing and is ideal as a dessert in itself, to accompany a cup of coffee or breakfast snacks.
