Christmas Schwarzwald Cubes were created as a variant of the famous Schwarzwald cake, which is one of the favorite cakes in Europe.
The traditional recipe for Schwarzwald cake has been slightly modified to make this wonderful cake.
Translated from German, you could call it a Black Forest cake.
Christmas Schwarzwald Cubes is a fantastic combination of cherries and chocolate rounded off with a soft biscuit crust and a layer of sweet sour cream.
But above all, this cake does not have to be baked!
Easy…tasty…and “snowy”…enjoy!
