History
The earliest combination in the Black Forest of cherries, cream and Kirschwasser was probably not in the form of a cake but instead as a dessert. Cooked cherries would be served with cream and perhaps Kirschwasser. A cake combining cherries, biscuit and cream (but without Kirschwasser) probably originated in Germany. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe. Today, the Canton of Zug is world-renowned for its Zuger Kirschtorte, a biscuit-based cake which formerly contained no little Kirschwasser. The Canton of Zug ( German Kanton) is one of the 26 Cantons of Switzerland. A version from the Canton of Basle also exists. Basel-Country ( German:; Swiss German: Basel-Land / Baselbiet) is one of the 26 Cantons of Switzerland. The confectioner Josef Keller claims to have invented Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte in its present form in 1915 in the then prominent Café Agner in Bad Godesberg. Bad Godesberg is a municipal district of Bonn, southern North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. This claim, however, has never been substantiated. [2]
Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte was first mentioned in writing in 1934[3]. At this time it was known especially in Berlin as well as at good confectioners in German, Austrian and Swiss cities. Berlin is the capital city and one of sixteen states of Germany. In 1949 it took 13th place in the list of best-known German cakes. From this time onwards, Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte became world-renowned. [4]
