Black Forest Cake

I got to taste this cake while on a tour of Germany Nothing like getting the taste of something at a place it originated. We were in the Black Forest area and we were taken to a restaurant where they served this cake.
I like baking and I followed a recipe on youtube and tried to bake this cake but it was nowhere near what I had tasted. A lot could perhaps be the quality of ingredients.
I have tasted this cake bought here in India and again it never matched what I ate while I was in Germany.
Have you tasted this cake?

Oh yes
Very popular here.
We had a German prisoner of war who stayed on in Scotland after his country meekly surrendered and he was a Baker.
He cooked the best Black Forest Cake ever.
He had a shop at the bottom of our street and I was a regular visitor..
I used to greet him with Vee Vun De Vor

@allknowing Good for you that you have a basis for comparison since you already tasted the original ones. I am just curios too how the original ones tasted.

@rsa101 Belgian chocolates have better milk as Indian cows do not produce that good quality milk

Even India tries to imitate and never can reach there. I had a bad experience ordering for some Belgian chocolates and was disappointed.

@allknowing I bought the Black Forest cake from the bakery and I haven't been to Germany to have this cake. So I can't really tell whether this is exactly like the original taste.

This is my favorite cake. I love the cherries and the chocolate that goes with it really tastes subtle and yum!

@allknowing I buy them from the bakeshops here like Red Ribbon, Goldilocks, Butter World, and a lot more because they are favorites here in the Philippines.

Wow!! Looks super. I am glad I got to taste a bit of it because what we get here is a poor imitation.

I have tasted our version here but not the German version. I have tasted another Indian cake which was a fruit cake. Had lots of dried fruits and very sugary

Do not trust what you get in India. I have experienced that What they come out with is a poor imitation
