The Blackforest Cherry Cake is not orginally from Black Forest. A baker from Bonn-Bad Godesberg claims to be the inventor, but has no real proof. Look on the German wikipedia information which is correct. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.158.6.192 (talk • contribs) 07:05, 12 December, 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Black Forrest

I removed the reference to the Black Forest, because the German Wikipedia claims that it is commonly accepted that the Black Forest Gateau does not come from the Black Forest. The possible reasons for the name, that are mentioned on the german Wiki are:

• The black chocklate topping reminds of the black forest
• The ingrediant Kirschwasser was mainly produced in the Black Forrest
• A predecessor cake called "Black Forest Cake" (which shouldn't come from the Black Forest either)

[edit] 13th best known German cake?

I'd like to see a reference for this, not because I'm a "only sourced material" N<rest of N-word elided ;)>, but because I'm curious what the other cakes are/were (I'm german) --jae 20:48, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move from Black Forest gateau to Black Forest cake

I thought the most common name should be used for article titles. I can't say I've ever heard the latter name used. If there's a policy stating that non-English words shouldn't appear in titles, then I haven't seen it. Please link accordingly. - Dudesleeper / Talk 13:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I've never known it to be called Black Forest Cake, always Black Forest Gateau. I'm assuming the former title is down to American English. --Factorylad (talk) 19:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
