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.
