Oktoberfest Coming To A Stein Near You

March 28 is National Black Forest Cake Day. It celebrates that baked delight composed of layers of chocolate cake, whipped cream, and cherry filling…and sometimes a little bit of cherry liqueur. The cake originated in German in the 1930s and is popular in German communities on both sides of the Atlantic. For a recipe, click here.
