BLACK FOREST CAKE RECIPE



Black Forest Cake Recipe image

Provided by Shiran

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1¾ cups (250 g/8.8 oz.) all-purpose flour, sifted
⅔ cup (65 g/2.3 oz.) natural unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups (400 g/14 oz.) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup (120 ml) neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
1 cup (240 ml) hot water
1 cup drained, canned cherries
¼ cup Kirsch, or another cherry liqueur
cherry juice from canned cherries (drain cherries and reserve the juice)
3 cups heavy cream, cold
½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
200 g/7 oz. chocolate shavings
Fresh whole cherries

Steps:

  • To make the chocolate cake: Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Generously butter two 8-inch cake pans that are at least 2-inches high, and dust with cocoa powder, tapping the ramekins slightly to remove any excess.
  • In a large bowl, place flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix until combined. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, oil, vanilla, buttermilk, and water (pour the water slowly so it won't cook the eggs). Whisk until smooth. Add egg mixture into flour mixture and mix until smooth. Don't overbeat - batter will be lumpy at first, but mix gently and eventually stir with a whisk just until smooth. The batter will be thin and liquid. That's ok.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pans. Bake cakes for 30-35 minutes (depending on your oven - this might take longer), or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before unmolding, then let cakes cool completely on a wire rack. I recommend wrapping the cakes in plastic wrap and refrigerate or freeze them for several hours before cutting them. Cut each cake layer in half horizontally.
  • To make the syrup: place drained cherries in a medium bowl, and add to the bowl ¼ cup Kirsch and ½ cup cherry juice from can. Leave to soak at room temperature for 30 minutes or more, then drain cherries in a sieve over a bowl, keeping both the cherries and syrup. Add more cherry juice to the syrup to get 3/4 cup syrup (you won't need the rest of the juice, discard it or save for another use). This will be the soaking syrup for the cake layers.
  • To make the whipped cream: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Read more about making perfect whipped cream here.
  • Assembly: Place one cake layer on a cake stand or plate and brush with 1/3 of the cherry syrup. Cover top with a thick layer of whipped cream frosting (about 1 cup) and top with 1/3 of the cherries. Repeat twice more with remaining layers and top with the last cake layer (there's no need to soak the top layer with syrup). Frost the top and sides of the cake with whipped cream. If you want, reserve some of the whipped cream, about 1½ cups, for decorating the top. Use a pastry bag with a large flower tip, and pipe rounds around the top. Top with whole cherries. Cover the sides and top with chocolate shavings, if desired. Store cake in the fridge, covered, for up to 4 days.

EASY PEASY BLACK FOREST CAKE



Easy Peasy Black Forest Cake image

At 8pm on his birthday, after the shops had shut and after weeks of saying that he didn't care what we ate as long as it involved beer, DB decided that what he REALLY wanted was black forest gateau. Go figure. This isn't really dark or slick enough to be black forest gateau, but it's what I made with what I had in the cupboards, and was pretty quick and easy to do, and involved chocolate, cream and cherries - so after a couple of cans and a lasagne it sufficed! Probably a good recipe for kids who aren't ready for the really rich and bitter flavour of proper BFG.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons hot water
1 -2 tablespoon cocoa
125 g butter, warmed
125 g caster sugar
2 medium eggs
125 g self raising flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons milk
170 ml whipping cream
2 teaspoons caster sugar
400 g cherries in syrup or 400 g cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to GM4 (180C, 350F)
  • Mix hot water into cocoa to form a smooth paste.
  • In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar with a hand mixer until pale and around double the original volume.
  • Break the eggs and beat them until yolk and white are mixed.
  • Combine the eggs and cocoa paste with the butter/sugar mixture.
  • Sift in the flour and the baking powder and fold them into the mixture.
  • Stir n the milk.
  • Bake in one 8 inch cake tin at least 2 inches tall for 35 minutes, or one 9 inch tin for 30 mins (You could do this in two separate sandwich tins, but I have no idea how long it would take to bake!).
  • Leave the cake for 15 minutes to cool before turning out. Leave for another 5 and then use a sharp bread knife to slice the cake in half.
  • Beat the whipping cream and castor sugar until the cream stiffens.
  • Pile whipped cream and cherries on top of bottom slice of cake; replace upper slice and cover this with whipped cream and slightly more delicately placed cherries!
