Is there a cake similar to Black Forest but made with strawberries/citrus?

Is there a cake similar to Black Forest but made with strawberries/citrus? - From above of short stocking for wearing on legs placed on black background

Once while overseas, I had a cake with the following properties:

  1. It had a French name, if I recall, and the cake was bought in Italy, so I tend to think the cake has a name beyond a description of its ingredients (and I think I'd remember if it were just a description in French).

  2. It was a chocolate cake with either strawberries or cherries (my gut reaction is that it was strawberries; cherries may be a false association, see below)

  3. The whole thing was vaguely citrus-tasting, and the cake was moist and clearly alcoholic tasting (my gut says Grand Marnier, but it was a long time ago)

I have done some searching - English and French - and not seen anything. Does what I have described sound like any typical dessert?

Note that I am aware that this sounds a lot like Black Forest Cake, although I think I'd remember if that's what it was... for some reason this sticks out as something I got because it was different from that.

Any cake names or places for further reading are appreciated.

Best Answer

It sounds like a black forest cake to me. The ones I've had always had a mild citrus edge; I think it's lemon zest.

    Answer 2

    Wild guess-- A variation on a Sachertorte. A French bakery near me makes a delicious one with raspberry jam and fresh raspberries on top. A strawberry version would be quite good. (They also do a Strawberry Black Forest cake there...)
