The Black Forest Cake (called Schwarzw\u00e4lder Kirschtorte in German), which originated in the Black Forest region of Germany, features cherries soaked in Kirsch (a cherry brandy also from the Black Forest region) and the resulting sweet, spiked cherry syrup is brushed on top of each cake layer. A creamy, chocolate-cherry dream, this visually stunning and decadent cake is a holiday showstopper. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-breakout=\"normal\">\n<div class=\"iwMEp\"
