This was my maiden attempt in baking Black forest cake though I have tried the base chocolate cakes couple of times. Today the recipe book and the original recipe for the now world-famous “Schwarzwaelder Kirsch” can be found with August Schaefer’s son, Claus Schaefer, the current head chef at Triberg’s Konditorei Schaefer. His son, Claus Schaefer, the current Konditormeister of the Triberg CafSchaefer, inherited the book and the original recipe and has thus been able to carry on making Josef Keller’s original. After many years of collaboration, Josef Keller gave August Schaefer his recipe book which contained the original recipe. August Schaefer learned the trade as the apprentice to Josef Keller in Radolfzell from 1924 to 1927. In the year 1915 he created for the first time what he called a “Schwarzwaelder Kirsch”, or “Black Forest Cherry”.Īfter his time in the military, Josef Keller established his own cafin Radolfzell. Keller was the pastry chef in the Cafe“Ahrend” (today called Agner) in Bad Godesberg. Josef Keller (1887-1981) is the inventor of the Black Forest cherry cake. So a little history about Black forest cake as described in Cafe schaeferwebsite. That cake is in my TO DO list and I wish I can try that out soon. I love that rainbow cake to bits and the way they have narrated the whole story is just amazing. I like to read about origin of cakes after I watched Joan’s or Juan cake scene in the Tamil movie “ Un Samayal Arayil“. This is my husband’s favorite cake too! And yeah what more can I think of baking for his B’day. Have you ever stood in front of the bakery windows and kept staring at those delicious and beautiful cakes which are in dark brown and white combo? Oh yeah, I have done that multiple times and after many years I got to know that cake is called Black Forest cake.
