Description
I know, I KNOW I used maraschino cherries for garnish and I KNOW I decorated the sides with chocolate shavings, and it doesn't show here but I KNOW I filled it with ganache and cherry preserves, but at least the alcohol stayed true D:<

So shush, it's a semi-authentic black forest cake. At least I used KIRSCH. Not some funky red cherry syrup like they do in commercial bakeshops. In America, at least.

Chocolate chiffon cake soaked with kirsch filled with ganache and cherry preserves, frosted with kirsch-flavoured Swiss meringue buttercream and garnished with chocolate shavings and maraschino cherries ~_~

You probably don't care about authenticity if it tastes good, but there are purists out there that attack me every once in a while. You can never be too careful

Made at home after a long day of cooking healthy food. This was like a breath of fresh air.
