TRADITIONAL BLACK FOREST CAKE RECIPE HOW TO
How to make cotton soft Black Forest Cake Fresh tart/dark cherries or Maraschino cherriesĬherries are not in season at this time of the year so, I use Maraschino cherries for decoration, but you can use fresh tart/dark cherries. You can use any of your favorite dark or semi-sweet chocolateġ2. You can prepare your own cherry sauce, but I use canned cherries that are usually used to prepare cherry pie here in the U.S. This is added to the heavy cream to lightly sweetened it and also to stabilize the whip cream a little bit as powdered sugar usually has some cornstarch in it We call this heavy cream in the U.S., but in other countries, it may be called double cream/Devon cream. I use large eggs about 50 grams in weight without the shell
I usually use any neutral-tasting oil such as grapeseeds oil, avocado oil, etc. I usually use granulated sugar, because it’s the most common here. I use natural cocoa powder because that’s what I have and this recipe doesn’t use any leavening agent (baking powder or baking soda), so it’s save to use either oneĪ small pinch of salt brings out the flavor in pretty much anything you bake or cook. You can use either natural or Dutch-process cocoa powder. I definitely recommend using cake flour for that soft fluffy texture But the substitution still make a delicious Black Forest cakeĭespite its luscious appearance, this cake actually tastes light, not overly sweet and pairs well with the dark chocolate shards decoration Ingredients I would use this if I could get one, but I didn’t have any. I use the chiffon method and so the cake is soft and airy, but sturdy enough for layering I bake the cake in one sheet pan and then cut it into several pieces to form a layer cakeĢ. I didn’t use any Kirschwasser in this recipe because I can’t find any and just have to do some substitution, but it certainly doesn’t ruin the experience. It is inspired by the traditional with some tweaks but it is still a very delicious Black Forest cake. I will not claim that this is the authentic German Black Forest cake, because it’s not. So the cake is made with a combination of layers of chocolate cakes, cream, kirsch, tart cherries, and more chocolate. Itis named as such because of the specialty liquor known as Schwarzwälder Kirsch(wasser) or known as Kirsch for short, distilled from tart cherries. It is not named after the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) mountain range in southwestern Germany. So to have black forest cake for birthday, was a big deal 🙂 What is Black Forest cake?īlack forest cake is of German origin. Black forest cake was also on the expensive side. Perhaps because it’s a chocolate cake and it’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t like chocolate. As a kid, black forest cake was often seen at kids’ birthday parties. Outside of Germany, black forest cake is highly popular in Indonesia too. Inspired by the traditional German black forest gateau/cake, this soft and airy chocolate sponge cake is filled with luscious cream, cherries, and decorated with dark chocolate shards.īlack forest cake brings back lots of childhood memories for me.
