Inside Scoop
What is an Anges Black Forest Cake: A Black Forest Cake, also known as Black Forest Gateau, is a German dessert made with layers of chocolate sponge, cherry compote, and whipped cream or buttercream, often with Kirsch. Topped with cream, cherries, and chocolate shavings, it offers an unforgettable taste.
Black Forest Cake vs Black Forest Gateau: Both names describe the same cake; a Black Forest Cake typically has more cherries, while a gateau features more cream.
Origin: The Black Forest Cake originated in Germany's Black Forest region, renowned for its cherries and kirsch.
Drink Pairing: A slice of Black Forest Cake is best paired with sweet dessert wine or rich coffee, enhancing its flavours. Coke/Pepsi work very well as well!
For Children: An alcohol-free version of the Black Forest Cake is recommended for children due to the traditional use of liqueur. It's a question of risk versus gain.
Shelf Life: Your cake is baked fresh for your chosen date and keeps beautifully for up to five days from delivery.
Storage: Keep the cake in its box in a cool room, or refrigerate if not serving the same day. For detailed guidance, see our cake storage and shelf life guide.
Serving: Bring the cake to room temperature before serving. Allow around three hours out of the fridge so the sponge softens and the buttercream becomes silky and aromatic.
