核心提示:德国南部有一处名为黑森林的旅游胜地,盛产黑樱桃。因此,当地的人会把过剩的黑樱桃夹在巧克力蛋糕内,并涂上鲜奶油及洒上巧克力碎片,便制成了黑森林蛋糕。传至其他地方时,由于没有黑樱桃,因此黑森林蛋糕亦省略了黑樱桃,变成了巧克力蛋糕。


      Black forest gateau is a chocolate layer cake, heavy with cherries and swathed in loads of whipped cream. The sour cherries and sweet chocolate are so good together that one can understand why this has become one of the most desired cakes world-wide.


      Historians believe it originated in the late 16th century in the Black Forest Region, which is a popular tourist place in Germany with dense forests and beautiful high lands. Black forest region is known for its abundant (as earlier it was a custom for newly marrieds to plant a cherry tree) and beautiful cherry trees, which were said to be an inspiration for the black forest cake. The name, Black Forest, evokes darkness and mystery coming from the romantic German concept of forest-loneliness. During this era, chocolate was first integrated into cakes and cookies. Combine these cherries with the German’s love of chocolate, and you have this wonderful chocolate confection with cream and cherries.

      There are many other ideas on how the cake originally got its name. Some historians say that it is possible that the cake got its name from the traditional costume worn by women in the Black Forest Region. The black dress is the dark chocolate cake, the white shirt with Balloon puffy sleeves are the whipped cream, the red pompoms are the cherries, and the black undulating lace veil shielding the young women’s eyes are represented by the chocolate curls.


      The typical black forest cake contains several layers of chocolate cake, with oodles of whipped cream and cherries in each layer, further decorated with additional whipped cream, chocolate shavings and cherries. Also, in traditional black forest cakes, kirsch, which is a clear colorless fruit brandy which is made from double distillation of morellos is added. Today, other kinds of liquors like rum are used instead of kirsch, or a lot of times, black forest cake is made without any alcohol.

      So, are you already craving for it? Then go on and forget counting calories and simply indulge!


      参考译文:
      黑森林蛋糕是一种巧克力夹心蛋糕,上面缀满樱桃,裹有大量的泡沫鲜奶油。樱桃的酸味和巧克力的甜味搭配得颇为美妙,这就不难理解黑森林蛋糕为什么会成为全世界最受欢迎的蛋糕之一。

      历史学家认为,黑森林蛋糕起源于16世纪的黑森林地区,那里是德国一个著名旅游景点,有茂密的森林和美丽的高地。黑森林地区因其大片美丽的樱桃树而闻名——过去的习俗是,每对新婚夫妇都要栽一棵樱桃树——据说这些樱桃树是黑森林蛋糕的灵感来源之一。“黑森林”这个名字让人联想到黑暗和神秘,这来自德国人的浪漫观念——森林的孤独。这一时期,巧克力第一次被引入蛋糕和曲奇饼干的制作中。把樱桃和德国人对巧克力的喜爱结合起来,就有了这道绝妙的奶油樱桃巧克力甜品。

      关于这种蛋糕最初因何得名说法不一。还有些史学家认为,黑森林蛋糕有可能得名于黑森林地区妇女所穿的传统服饰。黑裙是黑色的巧克力蛋糕,带有泡泡袖的白衬衣是泡沫奶油,(帽子上)红色的毛绒球变成了樱桃,用来遮掩年轻女子眼睛的黑色波浪蕾丝面纱则由巧克力卷花边代表。

      典型的黑森林蛋糕有好几层巧克力蛋糕,每一层都布满了泡沫奶油和樱桃,外面另点缀有泡沫奶油、巧克力刨片和樱桃。此外,传统的黑森林蛋糕中还会加入樱桃酒,这是一种清澈无色的水果白兰地,由欧洲酸樱桃经两次蒸馏后制成。今天,朗姆酒等其他种类的酒替代了樱桃酒,而很多时候,黑森林蛋糕一点儿酒也不加。

      那么,你是不是迫切地想尝尝它了?那就采取行动,别去计算什么卡路里了,就单纯地享受这份快乐吧!


      小知识:
      德国对黑森林蛋糕的制作有严格的要求,在2003年的国家糕点管理办法中规定,“黑森林樱桃蛋糕是樱桃酒奶油蛋糕,蛋糕馅是奶油,也可以配樱桃,加入樱桃酒的量必须能够明显品尝得出酒味。蛋糕底托用薄面饼,至少含3%的可可粉或脱油可可,也可使用酥脆蛋糕底。蛋糕外层用奶油包裹,并用巧克力碎末点缀”。在德国销售的蛋糕,只有满足以上条件,才有权利称得上是“黑森林樱桃蛋糕”。
