Can't resist jumping in here. My very fav cake - Black Forest Torte. I used to live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia (across the harbour from Halifax). There was a small bakery in that city that made this delightful cake and sold it only to the finer restaurants in the two cities. I visited the bakery one day (there was no "store-front" and I was uninvited) late after fishing for trout in a stream nearby (too much detail right?). The baker was there and I explained that I just wanted to tell someone there how much I loved their cake. He was barrel-shaped and had a warm and friendly manner, along with a heavy German accent. He welcomed me in, gave me a tour of his bakery, described the whole baking process and the tour included the rum stock that he used in the cake. I won't tell you what we had to eat and what we drank next.
