This regional dessert from Germany is now a favorite treat worldwide.
這道來自德國的地方特色甜點今日深受全球喜愛。

Black Forest cake is a famous chocolate layer cake from Germany. It first appeared around the beginning of the 20th century, and there are a few different stories about who might have invented it.

黑森林蛋糕是來自德國的知名巧克力分層蛋糕。它約在二十世紀初出現，關於其創始人可能是誰則有一些不同的說法。

The name of the cake refers to a densely wooded and mysterious area in southwestern Germany, the Black Forest. In this region, people make a special kind of cherry alcohol called kirsch. This is the most important ingredient in the classic recipe for Black Forest cake. Each layer of the chocolate cake is soaked in this liquor to give it a special flavor and make it heavy.

該蛋糕的名字指的是德國西南部林木茂密的神祕區域 —— 黑森林。在該區，人們釀製一種特別的櫻桃酒叫 kirsch。這是經典的黑森林蛋糕食譜中最重要的材料。每層巧克力蛋糕都浸過這種酒以賦予它獨特的風味及使它香醇濃郁。

Of course, alcohol is not suitable for children’s cakes, so the recipe has changed over time. A modern Black Forest cake includes layers of chocolate, with whipped cream and cherries between every layer as well as on the top and sides of the cake. Additionally, many forms of the cake have chocolate shavings covering the outside. Black Forest cake is a dream for dessert lovers and is now enjoyed all over the world. 

當然，酒不適合給小孩做蛋糕吃，所以蛋糕食譜也與時俱進。今日的黑森林蛋糕有著層層的巧克力，以及在每層之間和蛋糕最上層與側邊的鮮奶油和櫻桃。此外，許多黑森林蛋糕外層都會以巧克力碎片點綴。黑森林蛋糕是甜點迷的夢幻逸品，現在全世界都享用得到。
