Anyone have an authentic Schwarzwaelderkirschtorte recipe?

[JenT 0]

Since David and I met in in the Black Forest area, and that has been my favorite dessert of all time, it is fitting that we have chosen this as our wedding cake.

I am going to make it myself and have an experimental one cooling on a rack as I type... I've made them before but have had inconsistent results with them not falling apart with the Kirsch (cherry liquor) that is added. Tonight's recipe is new from a bakery in Freiberg.

So, I have a few weeks to bake and experiment. Anyone have an authentic recipe they'd like to share, preferably in US measurements? (The one I just made called for many unit of measure conversions...)

Sorry I can't help ya, but the title brought back a memory...took German for 7 years in school, and we had this German cooking assignment...couple of friends came over and we made Schwartzwalderkiershetorte......(whew..what a word!) It turned out really nice...gawd, I had to have been about 15 at the time. Hope you find one! M.

Viel Gluck!

PS...I know there's Google UK, etc...is there one specifically for other countries? (may be a stupid question, but I don't know, so...) Maybe you could google for a 'real' German recipe there...

Derivatives? Are you kidding me? The SW Kirschtorte is the best!

I'm doin' the happy dance... thank you SO MUCH!! The cake I made last night didn't rise enough to make 3 layers out of it... I think I used too big a pan... I will try this one next!

I know it the best, hence why I said among the favorites.. but the others are also quite good.

Of course, any cake with liquor in it is good.

Anyone have any good cake recipes using Bailey's Irish Cream?

There's a small local chain of cafés here that makes one that's coconut.

I have to admit, I like that better—I like cherry a lot, yet somehow I don't really like Black Forest Cake.
