This gateau is the most German of all cakes: Black Forest Cake! My idea of the perfect version has soft and tender cake layers sporting enough chocolate flavour without being overwhelming. Jarred rather than fresh cherries are my other trick, because they just work that much better with the cake. And most importantly to me, this cake is not too sweet, so you can actually taste all the elements rather than just a pile of sugar!!

To our dear German readers out there – how do you rate my efforts?? 😇
