National Black Forest Cake Day

NATIONAL BLACK FOREST CAKE DAY
March 28 recognizes a food holiday known as National Black Forest Cake Day. Black Forest cake is the English name for the German dessert Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte, meaning “Black Forest cherry torte.”
Most often, the Black Forest cake is made of several layers of chocolate cake with whipped cream and cherries between each layer. The cake is then decorated with whipped cream, maraschino cherries and chocolate shavings. In some traditional recipes, sour cherries are used between the layers and a Kirschwasser (a clear liquor distilled from tart cherries) is added to the cake. In the United States, alcohol is usually not used. However, in Germany, the liqueur is a mandatory ingredient. Otherwise, the cake can not legally be sold under the Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte name.
The cake is named after the specialty liquor (Schwarzwalder Kirschwasser) of the region of the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) mountain range in southwestern Germany.
.... and....
AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION ALERT DAY
National American Diabetes Association Alert Day is observed annually on the fourth Tuesday in March. This day is a one-day “wake-up call” to inform the American public about the seriousness of diabetes and encourages all to take the diabetes risk test and learn about your family’s history of diabetes.

Re: National Black Forest Cake Day
Ahhhhh If I can go back to Brooklyn in the 90s and grab one of these babies, I'd be in heaven
I can't remember the name of the bakery, but there was one in Brighton that made the BEST Black Forest Cake

National Black Forest Cake Day
It is so hard to find a traditional Black Forest Cake.
The old Steinway Bake Shop in Astoria was a real German bakery and they made a great one.

Re: National Black Forest Cake Day
I've had it but I wasn't ever impressed.
Probably because I didn't have an authentic one.
Or maybe it's because I'm not a fan of whip cream.
