Black Forest Gateau

A Black Forest Gateau is a show stopper, so it had to be one of my cousin's wedding cakes. It's one of those cakes that can be a centrepiece at any occasion. Light and airy, yet packed with delicious, decadent flavour. My Nanny and Granda are big fans of this cake and I remember running around Galway years ago looking for kirsch, just so she could make it. Trust me, it was well worth the hassle. I used to argue that chocolate cake and fruit shouldn’t mix, but when I had this I admitted I was wrong. If you have the same thoughts, trust me don't knock it to you try it.
