In our home, one of our favorite cakes for special occasions is Black Forest Cake, a scrumptious torte made from layers of dark chocolate cake, sour cherries, and cherry-flavored whipped cream. As we’ve sought to eat more nourishing and traditional foods, I’ve wondered how best to prepare the rare sweet treat like this one, but with a bit of experimentation (and with a bit of inspiration from other real food bloggers), I’ve stumbled upon a cake we truly love and that I feel excited about serving. Of course, even though this recipe uses alternative sweeteners and traditional fats, it’s still a treat and should be eaten in moderation. (Don’t moderate your enjoyment, however!) If you don’t have a friend from whom you can pilfer a bit of sourdough starter, you can find a starter online. When I purchased mine, it was ready to use in about five days.)
