Black Forest Cake is one of the yummiest imports from Germany, I should say. Just look the chocolate, the oozing cherry and delicious cream... Need I say more? The Black Forest Cake is called Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte in German, which roughly translates into Black Forest Cherry Cake. The main components are chocolate cake, cherries, whipped cream and a good dash of Kirsch. By now there are quite some variations of it around, featuring different ingredients and styles, but the principle is the same and I have not come across a Black Forest Something that wasn't deliciously yummy!
