Top quality. This probably sounds weird but in the UK, this cake - despite having both English and German names for a German torte - is universally known as "Black Forest Gâteau", even though it is not French.😊

Thank you so much 😊! I had no idea that it was called Black Forest Gâteau in the UK. It’s funny how many names this cake has.

There is a European Market & Produce store near where I live that carries a bunch of canned fruit and jams. They are definitely a bit tricky to find in Canada though.
There is such a thing called Schwarz Wealder kirschwasser
I tried to bake a black forest cake for my birthday. It was a disaster 😆I didn't use this recipe 😊 But Arla whipping cream sabotaged me again 😂😭 Now my "black forest cake" has no frosting. It has to make do 🥹❤️😆

Oh no! Just call it a modern naked cake Black Forest 😂. I’m sure it’ll still taste delicious though😊
