Description

There are 2 variations to the origin of the name Black forest cake. One version says that it got its name from the black forest region of Germany. The Black Forest area in Southwest Germany is covered with fir and pine trees. According to another version,the cake is named after the specialty liquor of that region, known as Schwarzwalder Kirsch which is distilled from tart cherries. This is the ingredient, with its distinctive cherry flavor and alcoholic content, that gives the cake its flavor.

Note

1) I made the cake in 2 seven inch tins and cut each cake into 2. It was a really tall cake. Will be a bit difficult to put in a cake box. You can even make this in an 8 inch cake tin and cut into 2.
2) When i divided the batter between 2 tins, each tin had about 375 gms. of batter.
3) For making cakes, always have the ingredients at room temperature, unless otherwise stated.
4) Vinegar can be sustituted with equal quantity of lime juice.
5) I used Morde dark compound chocolate. If you cant find this use ordinary chocolate bars approximately 250. Grams. Either dark or milk chocolate can be used. or use pure chocolate instead of compound.
6) Dont keep the whipping cream (in the icing bag) in freezer. It will form ice crystals and will not hold shape when piping.
7) I used Tropolite non dairy whipping cream. You can either use this or Richs non dairy whipping cream.
