>>21993100Those small ones look always cheap. A proper one should have a 28 cm diameter.
I used to think german chocolate cake was the same as black forest cake and got really pissed the one time I bought one and it had coconut on it instead of cherries.

Ruined by the fruit filling
>>21993100Do outsiders really call it Black Forest Cake?Why is it so uncommon to name german food by its german name?>>21993332you thought every chocolate cake has cherries?
>>21993500Gateaux?
>>21993500Protestants removed the kirche, they don't even use alcohol in it. Nobody realizes it's not "black forest" cake, it's "black forest kirche" cake.
>>21993100I don't know how traditional, but definitely German and definitely pre-WW2. The decoration can take some turns, but there are always cherries (maraschino or sweet), and whipped cream. Chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or even a cocoa dusting seem to be popular but optional. There should always be kirsch in there somewhere, ideally cherry jam or finely chopped cherries usually between layers with the whipped cream, and the cake itself should be chocolate.
>>21993506>Gateaux
>>21993534These cakes are nuts!
>>21993500Because the original name would be a tongue twister for native Americans."Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte", Two "Sch", one with the weird "schw" and the other with "rsch", and additionally an umlaut for no extra charge. Pretty damn complicated for someone who is not familiar with those syllables.
>>21993520>ideally cherry jam or finely chopped cherriesIt's none of that but just pic related thickened with starch.
>>21993630how come nobody has an issue with french names nobody even knows how to pronounce with all their diacritics that don't even exist on english keyboards.
>>21993650English has lots of loan words from French and German, why some are translated and some aren't is just how the language evolved. English speakers say bratwurst and strudel instead of chopped meat sausage and whirlpool (which is the literal translation of strudel, apparently). "Schwarzwalder Kischtorte" is long and kind of difficult to say and not used often enough to be a loan word, it makes more sense to translate it because its literal translation is easier to say and still perfectly describes what it is.Similarly "hors d'oeuvre" is a common and well known French phrase used in English but if you showed those written words to a lot of English speakers they would have no idea what it means.
>>21993650I'm frankly glad americans don't butcher german like they butcher french.
>>21993335How does one breach the walls?
>>21993221>1 can prepared coconut–pecan frostingI think that’s for the superior german chocolate cakeI bet your garnish list is what you’d see on an accurate “May Contain” list for a black forest cake imported from China
>>21993650>diacritics that don't even exist on english keyboardsSeriously, Anglos are the most ignorant people in existence.
>>21993827well as physical keys they don't. you can use the alt + numpad codes to get them though.
>>21993942You could just add two additional keys and would be able to create letters like é.
Blackforest cake was my favourite. I never made one after finding out the cherry layer was more involved than 'use pie filling'. Then I broke my drug addiction so no more chocolate.>>21993221Whatever the fuck this is it isn't blackforest cake.Blackforest cake is chocolate cake with a cherry liquer layer.
>>21993500Germans autistically jam all their words together.
>>21993245It's black forest gateau, namefag cunt. I'm expecting you're American and lack education like most of the rest.
>>21993245>no idea whyanime website desu senpai
>>21994005>It's black forest gateauTHISIt was hugely popular in Britain during the 60s and 70s, seems to have fallen out of favour but it's still readily available.
>>21993983i'll get the keyboard companies on the horn and let them know what you said
>>21993181They really didnt like this one
>>21994052Ignorance showing again.
>>21993685You'll need to light the beacons and call for aid
>>21993100this looks delicious and moist
>>21994070if you don't like keyboards not having physical diacritic keys get a different language keyboard tardo. people who speak english as a first language get by just fine without them
>>21994108Again, it's two keys.
>>21994005Gâteau is French for cake. It's Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte - or Cherry Cake from the Black Forest. >>21993642Mash your morellos, heathen!
>>21994108>alt+?>???>PROFIT
schwarzwald cake?
>>21994252>>21994214Actually it's torte. Cake is baked as a whole while torte isn't.
>>21993181anime website
>>21994257funnily enough torta means both cake and torte in my language.
>>21993100favorite cake since i was a kid way before portal... imagine my shock when im being tempted with selva negra in a distopyan testlab managed by halflife-shodan
>>21993221>deep-penetration agentsI always heard "deep penetration asians"
>>21994260It's borderline interchangeable in English - tortes generally rely on little or no wheat flour - making them a specific subset of cakes that isn't always specific; you could call a small, wheat flour cake a torte as long as it was moist and dense, and nobody but the coeliacs would bat an eye.. Torte can mean both in German.
>>21994292>secret Asian man
>>21994321interesting
>>21994260"Torte" comes from latin "torquere" - turn, rotate.Hence at least in German what usually distinguishes a Torte is that it is round.In the way that it is what the word is usually associated with even though it is not always like that.There are non round tortes, especially known from weddings, but ask any German to draw you a Torte and he will draw a flat cylinder with decorative elements.I think what aside from the USUALLY round shape sets apart a torte from a mere cake is that most would probably assiciate the term with a more "heavy" fatty baked good with lots of cream and usually a coating, often multi-layered with layers of creamy sweet fillings separated by comparatively thin sponge cake disks.And now I am hungry...
>>21993335damn i miss publix i never tried that. they have/had a really good german chocolate cake. i don't have publix near me any more and despite having nice grocery stores where i live now nothing really compares to the southern gluttony that is publix.
>>21994410yeah, it's pretty much the same in Croatian
>>21993100Keep digging, anon. You have to find your own path to the truth, keep your heart soft as water and your mind as firm as stone.
>>21993100Grim and frostbitten
>>21994410>what usually distinguishes a Tortemany cakes are round so this distinguishes nothing.Most germans will tell you that cake is baked and torte is not. Torte is crafted from prebaked and raw ingredients
>>21994886But they'll also call a layered cake a torte... maybe because the layers have to be baked and cooled before icing or frosting?A poundcake would never be a torte, but a Black Forest cake is torte and not kuchen despite being made of genoise, which is definitely cake.The thing itself is great. The pedantics of whether it's a torte or a cake are best left to people who'd go to the Panorama Bar for one drink.
>>21994993>maybe because the layers have to be baked and cooled before icing or frosting?That's exactly the differentiation. The prebaked cake base is also called Tortenboden (torte bottom/base) as that's the purpose of it. You then usually cut it in layers and add the other stuff. Rustic ones like pic related are still often called Kuchen (cake) while Torte is often used for pompous multilayered stuff.
>>21993182>indians invented chocolate cakeIndian derangement syndrome has reached nuclear meltdown levels
>>21995025>still often called kuchenKuchen just doubles as a broader term, like spiders are often called insects even though there are not.
