Black Forest gâteau, with its blend of chocolate, cream, cherries and Kirsch, may be a real symbol of the seventies - but that doesn’t stop it being delicious. This trifle uses those same lovely flavours to even more spectacular effect. If you don’t have time to make the cherry blondies for the base, you can always use a good shop-bought sponge cake instead.
