Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. Quite a mouthful – literally. It's famous for its copious layers of cream, chocolate and of course, cherries.
Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte。真是滿口——字面上的。它以大量的奶油、巧克力當然還有櫻桃而聞名。
It's not clear exactly where this cake originates from.

'Schwarzwälder' would suggest Germany's Black Forest, but there are lots of myths and legends surrounding its origin.

In Europe, the history of coffee and cake began in the 17th century when the first coffee house opened in Venice.

Originally, cake was eaten with knife and fork – until the dessert fork was invented about 140 years ago in England.
