Black Forest torte
Also known as Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte, this exquisite dessert hails from Swabia in Germany's Black Forest region. It's made by layering kirsch-scented chocolate cake, sour cherries and kirsch-laced whipped cream. Then it's coated generously with sweetened whipped cream and garnished with chocolate curls and cherries.
