Black Forest cake

Although most of the pastry chefs in Germany currently use a lot of chocolate when making the Black Forest, the real protagonist of the Black Forest cake is still the delicious and rich cherry! In the past, there have been cases of consumers filing complaints because the cherry content of a Black Forest cake is too small ~ so the German government has also made relevant regulations for this national treasure Black Forest, such as the whipped cream part of the Black Forest cake, which must contain at least 80 grams of cherry juice!
