Black forest cake is traditionally finished with chocolate shavings, but I took it a step further and opted for chocolate ganache. Black Forest gâteau (British English) or Black Forest cake (American English) is a chocolate sponge cake with a rich cherry filling based on the German dessert Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (pronounced [ˈʃvaʁt͡svɛldɐ ˈkɪʁʃˌtɔʁtə]), literally "Black Forest Cherry-torte". Typically, Black Forest gateau consists of several layers of chocolate sponge cake sandwiched with whipped cream. The cake is outstanding, follow exactly the recipe, it is not a common cake, the flour amount is right as this is a very humid, almost flourless chocolate cake, this is one of the reasons of such a delicate cake in the end. Under all the whipped cream icing of the Black Forest cake are three layers of chocolate génoise soaked in kirsch.
