I was fortunate to eat a piece of the original black forest cake when I was on a package tour of Europe. We got to spend a day in Germany and the sight seeing was packed to the brim.
We visited Black Forest and there in a small restaurant, we were treated to the original black forest cake. Wonder why it is called black forest.
While the actual cake has the same ingredients as the cakes we normally bake it is the topping and frosting that sets it apart from the other cakes.

That looks so tempting! My daughters love black forest cake and that's what we order for all celebrations in the house. I love the pineapple one

That must be a different version and cannot be considered original

As I have said it is the frosting and topping that makes it special specially the cherries

I have a sweet tooth and eating a cake with the frosting and topping is fine for me once in a way

That cake looks scrumptious and I've only had Black Forest cake a few times.

I love black forest cake. I can buy it in local cake shop. But I wonder how different it tastes from the original one.
