Cherries, Coffee and Cake – a combination impossible to resist.
When cherry and chocolate decide to tag along, the chocolate does not melt, but we melt. The black forest cherry pie originated in the 20s as a layer dessert, among the most popular cakes in all of Germany.
Would you rather dispense the extra shot of cherry water spirits, but still want to have a small aroma kick to it? Then this espresso cherry cake may be just right for you. Coffee, cakes and cherries. What more do you need?
Fun-Fact: Botanically, the cherry is related to the queen of all flowers – the rose. Isn’t that romantic?
