AUTHENTIC BLACK FOREST CAKE RECIPE

Today, we cover another European classic dessert. Black Forest Cake.

It’s a popular German cake and is called Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte in German (schwarz = black, wälder = forest, kirsch = cherry, torte = cake). In English, it is called Black Forest Cake without the word cherry.

Ingredients
Chocolate cake

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated white sugar (200g)
• 1/4 cup butter, melted (56g)
• 1 vanilla bean* (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
• 1 + 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (150g)
• 1/2 cup dutch-processed cocoa powder (42g)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Sour-cherry filling

• 4 tsp cornstarch
• 4 tbsp canned sour cherry water
• 1/4 cup canned sour cherry water (60ml)
• 1/4 cup kirsch (60ml)
• 3/8 cup granulated white sugar (75g)
• 1 lbs canned sour cherries, drained (450g)

Whipped cream

• 3 cups heavy whipping cream (720ml)
• 1/4 cup granulated white sugar (50g)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 320 °F (160°C). Line the bottom and the sides of a 9" (23cm) springform pan with parchment paper and set aside. The easiest way to line a springform pan with parchment paper is to cut out a circle for the bottom and 2-3 inch strips for the sides.
2. In a large mixing bowl, using a stand or handheld mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, mix eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla* until creamy and fully combined about 2-3 minutes. Sift in flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine, another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking pan and bake for about 33-38 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake. I baked mine exactly 35 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
3. Place drained sour cherries into a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
