This chocolate Black Forest cake had been hanging around my head from a lot of months ago. But it was to see this beautiful tablecloth when I imagined how would be the photos. Many flowers and many cherries found me a combination that was worth trying.
It is a typical cake from the kitchen of Baden-Baden, a beautiful village in the South of Germany in the Middle Black Forest and that it is worth the visit if you go by that part (the car is the best means of transport to visit these area) and is one of the most prized desserts in German cuisine. It is a cake covered with whipped cream and decorated with chocolate shavings and cherries on top. The inner layers are made with embedded kirsch chocolate cake and it has a filling of cream and cherries jam between the layers. I love its name in German Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte that means Black Forest Cherry cake easy, huh?
And as a group that I loved, "because I like cherries, I like you"(Los Ronaldos).
I saw Linda Lomelino the recipe and I fell in love, so here I leave you my own version.

Hello Loleta
Although I've never written follow you both on the channel long ago kitchen as in your blog.
I have made many of your recipes, especially the desserts, they have always gone well. Your recipes are infallible, but of course, I do everything to the foot of the letter, and now I wonder:
Can I make this cake with double the ingredients and in a large pan to cut them into three?
Thanks a lot. A kiss
Hello snow, of course, you can what is happening in that you have more possibilities of any you breaking. For me it is more easy to use three different cake plates. But another option that works very well if the cake is not more than 15 cm is to make your iron on a baking tray, and then with a ring short the three plates. If you dwell blog birthday cake recipe, have a video where you can see it. I leave you the link if you help
