March 28 is National Black Forest Cake Day. It celebrates that baked delight composed of layers of chocolate cake, whipped cream, and cherry filling…and sometimes a little bit of cherry liqueur. The cake originated in German in the 1930s and is popular in German communities on both sides of the Atlantic. For a recipe, click here.

Hey friends! I’m fond of Black Forest Cake, I read an article yesterday and I came to know that these cakes baked by German’s since ages Click Here and the Cherry is supposed to have been included in the cake recipe by the Arabs. It includes several layers of chocolate sponge with whipped cream and cherries in between them. Wow! what a mouth watering cake it is.
