Black Forest cake at Muffin Taffin in Budva

In Budva, Montenegro, Muffin Taffin sells Black Forest cake for November orders, when chocolate and cherries suit cooler evenings by the coast.

The cake comes from Germany's Black Forest. Early twentieth-century confectioners set the pattern still used today: dark sponge, cooked cherries and whipped cream, finished with chocolate shavings.

How we build each cake

We bake a chocolate sponge, cool the layers and stack them. A cherry filling goes between the layers, then whipped cream. Chocolate shavings cover the sides, and a few cherries mark the top.

Whole cakes leave for celebration orders, and slices stay for walk-in sales. November is a busy season for cakes in Budva, so we assemble each one the same day.

Ask at Muffin Taffin if you want a Black Forest cake for a family table or a small party in Montenegro.
