At the time it was particularly associated with Berlin but was also available from high-class confectioners in other German, Austrian, and Swiss cities. Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte was first mentioned in writing in 1934.
This claim, however, has never been substantiated.
The confectioner Josef Keller (1887–1981) claimed to have invented Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte in its present form in 1915 at the then prominent Café Agner in Bad Godesberg, now a suburb of Bonn about 500 km north of the Black Forest. Cherries, cream, and Kirschwasser were first combined in the form of a dessert in which cooked cherries were served with cream and Kirschwasser, while a cake combining cherries, cookies / biscuits and cream (but without Kirschwasser) probably originated in Germany. This is the ingredient, with its distinctive cherry pit flavor and alcoholic content, that gives the dessert its flavor. The dessert is named not directly after the Black Forest ( Schwarzwald) mountain range in southwestern Germany but rather from the specialty liquor of that region, known as Schwarzwälder Kirsch(wasser) and distilled from tart cherries. True Black Forest gâteaus are decorated with black cherries. German law mandates that kirschwasser must be present in the cake for it to be labelled a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. In India, Black Forest cake is generally prepared without alcohol. Other spirits are sometimes used, such as rum, which is common in Austrian recipes. Traditionally, kirschwasser, a clear spirit made from sour cherries, is added to the cake. In some European traditions, sour cherries are used both between the layers and for decorating the top.
It is decorated with additional whipped cream, maraschino cherries, and chocolate shavings. Typically, Black Forest gateau consists of several layers of chocolate sponge cake sandwiched with whipped cream and cherries.
