Equipment

  • Bowl
  • spatula, etc.

Ingredients

  • 100 grams of high-quality all-purpose or bread flour
  • 4 large free-range eggs
  • 150 grams of fine granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp of aromatic vanilla sugar or a splash of exquisite vanilla extract
  • 250 grams of decadent dessert chocolate
  • 2 tsp of premium instant yeast
  • 2 tsp of artisanal butter melted to perfection
  • 100 grams of melted artisanal butter
  • 100 grams of sifted icing sugar
  • 100 grams of velvety heavy whipping cream
  • 40 grams of indulgent Kirsch liquor
  • A pinch of sea salt to elevate the flavors to perfection
  • 6 tsp of cornstarch for that flawless texture

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs and add the fine granulated sugar. Mix until light and fluffy.
  • Add the melted butter and vanilla sugar (or vanilla extract), continuing to mix.
  • Sift in the flour, instant yeast, and a pinch of sea salt. Gently fold until the batter is smooth.
  • Divide the batter evenly between two greased and floured cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake layers to cool completely.
  • Melt the dessert chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave.
  • In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream until it just begins to boil.
  • Pour the hot cream over the melted chocolate and stir until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature.
  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Brush the top with a mixture of melted artisanal butter and Kirsch liquor.
  • Spread a layer of chocolate ganache over the first cake layer.
  • Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the butter-Kirsch mixture and chocolate ganache.
  • Use the remaining chocolate ganache to frost the sides and top of the cake.
  • Mix sifted icing sugar with a little Kirsch liquor to make a smooth icing. Decorate the cake with this icing.
  • Optionally, use a piping bag to create decorative patterns on the top of the cake.
  • Refrigerate the Black Forest Cake for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld and the ganache to set.
  • Slice and serve the cake, enjoying the decadent layers of chocolate, cherry, and cream.

Notes

  • Make sure to grease the cake pan properly before adding the batter, as this will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • If the cake is over-baked, it may become dry and crumbly. To avoid this, use a toothpick to check the cake for doneness before taking it out of the oven.
  • If the frosting is too thick, you can add a bit of milk to thin it out.
  • Feel free to use your own favorite decorations for the top of the cake. You can use anything from fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, sprinkles, and more.
  • If you don’t have a 9-inch round cake pan, you can use an 8-inch square pan instead.
