Black forest cake is THE most iconic German cake made from layers of chocolate sponge cake, Kirschwasser-infused cherries, and a simple vanilla whipped cream frosting. Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte is also the REAL German chocolate cake (unlike the American cake with pecans and coconut). This authentic version that I grew up with in Germany is not too sweet, and I love that you can use frozen, jarred, or fresh cherries for it! Some other classic German cakes you need to try are German marble cake, a classic German strawberry cake, and German cheesecake baked in jars.Featured in 'German Home Kitchen'.
