Black Forest ham originated from this region, and so, by name and reputation at least, did the Black Forest gâteau. It is also known as Black Forest Cherry Cake or Black Forest Cake and is made with chocolate cake, cream, sour cherries and Kirsch. The Black Forest variety of Flammkuchen is a Baden specialty made with ham, cheese and cream. Pfannkuchen, a crêpe or crêpe-like ( or Palatschinken) pastry, is also common.
