Trivia: Which type of chocolate cake is traditionally made with cherries?
German chocolate cake
Devil’s food cake
Black Forest cake
Swiss chocolate cake
The correct answer is Black Forest cake
So why is this answer correct? : Black Forest cake is traditionally made with four layers of chocolate sponge, cherries, and whipped cream. Kirschwasser (cherry schnapps) is also brushed on each cake layer and added to the whipped cream for extra flavor. The cake gets its name from the Black Forest region of Southern Germany, where the recipe likely originated in the 16th century. The region is known for its sour cherries, which are used to make cherry liqueurs and brandies.
