Black Forest gâteau (German: Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:IPA-de), literally "Black Forest Cherry-torte"), also called Black Forest cake (American English), is a German chocolate and cream cake with a rich cherry filling. While it is most likely based on a Black Forest dessert tradition, the cake's specific origin in Germany is contested.

Typically, Black Forest gateau consists of several layers of chocolate sponge cake sandwiched with whipped cream and cherries. It is decorated with additional whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and chocolate shavings. In some European traditions, sour cherries are used both between the layers and for decorating the top.[1] Traditionally the alcoholic Kirschwasser, a clear spirit made from sour cherries, is added to the cake.[2] Other spirits are sometimes used, such as rum, which is common in Austrian recipes. German law mandates that any dessert labeled Шаблон:Lang must have Kirschwasser.[3]

The origin of the cake's name is not entirely clear.

According to one school of thought, the name is derived from the specialty liquor of the Black Forest region, known as Schwarzwälder Kirsch(wasser), which is distilled from tart cherries. This is the ingredient that gives the dessert its distinctive cherry pit flavor and alcoholic content flavor.

Some sources claim that the name of the cake is inspired by the traditional costume of the women of the Black Forest region, with a characteristic hat with big, red pom-poms on top, called Bollenhut.

The confectioner Шаблон:Interlanguage link multi (1887–1981) claimed to have invented Шаблон:Lang in its present form in 1915 at the prominent Café Agner in Bad Godesberg, now a suburb of Bonn about Шаблон:Cvt north of the Black Forest. This claim, however, has never been substantiated.[4] A long time ago, cherries, cream, and Kirschwasser were combined in the form of a dessert in which cooked cherries were served with cream and Kirschwasser, originated in Black forest region famous for its cherry trees.[5]

The Tübingen city archivist Udo Rauch names the Tübingen master confectioner Erwin Hildenbrand of Café Walz in Tübingen as the "inventor", dated spring 1930.[6] Tübingen, which is no longer usually associated with the Black Forest, belonged to the Black Forest district from 1818 to 1924. Given that Keller's initial recipe was not identical to the most popular interpretation of the Black Forest Cake, but instead a simpler version, it could be theorized that both confectioners influenced its creation.

Шаблон:Lang was first mentioned in writing in 1934.[7][2] At the time it was particularly associated with Berlin but was also available from high-class confectioners in other German, Austrian, and Swiss cities. In 1949 it took 13th place in a list of best-known German cakes.[2]
