The prototype of the black forest cake should have appeared near the south black forest at the earliest. During the cherry harvest season, the local peasant woman boiled the sweet and sour cherries falling from the trees in water and then put them on a plate to cool. In the evening, after milking, they skim the cream off the surface of the milk. People use this cream mixed with ripe cherries as dessert and enjoy it with rich imported coffee. Some people eat it with a little cherry wine.
19 15, a pastry chef named Joseph Keller claimed that he invented the black forest cherry cake. At that time, the pastry chef worked in a coffee shop called Agner in Bagsburg. He created a unique method to make the cream smell like cherry wine, and added a cake bottom with a dark baking color in the interlayer between the cream and the cherry. Against the background of one black and one red, the red cherry is more vivid, and the black cake bottom is more mysterious, like rows of firs in a black forest, gently setting off the charming protagonist. Brilliant creativity keeps the silent and nameless pastry chef in people's minds forever. In Zell Rodov, Keller's hometown, there is even a museum about Black Forest Cake.
