Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte - or Black Forest Cake - is probably one of the most famous German cakes. The cake combines cherries, a chocolate dough and lots of whipped cream. Cherry schnaps, the so-called “Kirschwasser” (lit.: cherry water), is also usually added.
Recipes can be found all over the internet. However, I’ve never baked it before, so I cannot recommend any recipe to you. If you know or find a good one - please share with us in the comment section!
die Kirsche (-n) = cherry (-ies)
die Torte (-n) = (fancy) cake (-s)
die Schlagsahne = whipped cream
der Schwarzwald = Black Forest (an area in Germany)
