#BLACK FOREST CAKE NEAR ME FULL#
Here’s the full ingredient list for our Black Forest Cake recipe: It’s a light and delicate sponge cake that is often used for layer cakes. The base of this Black Forest Cherry Cake is a chocolate genoise sponge cake which is very similar to a gateau. If you are looking for great birthday cake recipes, this is one you must try. The entire black cherry cake is then smothered with more whipped cream, and decorated with chocolate shavings or curls and more cherries. Each layer is spread with sweet whipped cream, a little more of that cherry brandy, then studded with a generous amount of Kirsch-soaked cherries. Our Black Forest Cake recipe has incredible cherry flavor. The combination is elegant and each bite is heavenly! Why We Love It It is tender and moist, made even more so from the sponge cake soaked in syrup and cherry brandy. A traditional Black Forest cake has layers of a light chocolate sponge (gateau or genoise) that is drizzled with cherry syrup spiked with cherry brandy (also known as Kirschwasser) and covered with whipped cream, cherries, and chocolate shavings. If you are a beginner baker or if you are just looking for an easier recipe, use our intense chocolate cake recipe for the cake.Ī Black Forest Cake gets its name from its origins, the Black Forest region of Germany. The chocolate sponge cake in this recipe is more technical to bake. Since a traditional black forest cake calls for a syrup-soaked sponge cake, we used our chocolate genoise sponge cake recipe. While those chocolate cake layers gave it a rich and decadent flavor, we have since made a few more changes to the original recipe to create one that is closer to a traditional Black Forest Cake or Black Forest gateau. We first adapted it by using our Intense Chocolate Cake for the cake layers since it has twice the chocolate compared to the cookbook recipe. Oh, life is so good when fresh cherries are in season! This Black Forest Cherry Cak e was inspired by a recipe in my Time-Life, Cooking of Germany cookbook.
