The Story of the Most Popular Black Forest Cake Liverpool

1. The Story of the Most Popular Black Forest Cake Liverpool Black Forest cake Liverpool is made with multiple layers (usually 4), of chocolate sponge cake, cherries, and whipped cream. The cake is decorated with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and cherries. The flavoring for the whipped cream is Kirschwasser (cherry syrup). To add moisture and flavor, the bottom layers of sponge cakes are also brushed in Kirschwasser (cherry syrup). Many theories exist about how the original name of the cake came to be. According to historians, the cake's name could have been derived from the Black Forest's traditional dress worn by Black Forest women. The black dress looked just like the chocolate flakes, while the blouse was white like cream. The hat features red pom-poms that resemble cherries and has red pompoms. German for Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte, it is also known as Gateau or Black Forest Cherry Torte. Black Forest Cake Liverpool: Where to Find It Black Forest cake Liverpool is a popular German dessert, but it's also a common dessert in Austria, Switzerland, and Italy (especially in Trentino Alto Adige, the northern region). These countries have virtually identical Black Forest cakes. However, they use few variations. In all three countries, it is common to use dark wild cherry (which can be a little sour). Kirsch is a distinguishing feature. You can substitute this alcoholic ingredient with rum, especially in Austrian versions. Or you can omit it entirely (as is the case in some Swiss and Sudtirol areas). Black Forest Cake Liverpool History: 16th Century – Historians believe it was created in the Black Forest Region (Der Schwarzwald) in Baden- Wttemberg. Schwarzwald is a romantic German word that refers to darkness and mystery. This was the era when chocolate was introduced to cakes and cookies for the first time. The region is well-known for its Kirsch, or Kirschwasser (a clear cherry brandy made with the sour Morello cherries) and sour cherries. This delicious chocolate confection is a combination of cherries and chocolate. This brandy is believed to be the reason why the cake was named. 1915 - The Black Forest Cake's history Josef Keller (1887-1981), is the inventor and creator of the Black Forest cherry pie. Keller was the pastry chef at the Caf'Ahrend (now called Agner) in Bad Godesberg. He created the first "Schwarzwalderkirsch", also known as the "Black Forest Cherry" in 1915.
