I love black forest cakes from the time it started appearing in the bakeries...Origin of black forest cake is from Germany..Here is my version of recipe for black forest cakes...I have used chocolate genoise sponge cake as base for my black forest.( have shared the recipe in my older post)
Happy New year to all...
Ingredients
Chocolate genoise sponge cake (8 inch) -1 no
Whipping cream -1 1/2 cup
Sugar -1/2 cup
Water - 3/4 cup
Canned cherries - 1 tin
Dark chocolate (grated ) - to garnish
Method
Boil together water n sugar till sugar dissolves.Add a tablespoon of the syrup from the cherry tin.
Slice the cake horizontally into three layers
Whip the cream till stiff .
Assembling
Keep a cake board or plate on a turn table .
Apply some cream on the board .
Place the top layer upside down on it, so that the irregular top of the cake is at the bottom . Now soak it nicely with sugar syrup.
Spread an even layer of whipped cream over it. Place some cherries on it.
Now place the middle layer and repeat the above process .
Finally place the last layer and bottom up over it,soak with sugar syrup .
Cover the whole cake with a thin layer of whipped cream. Keep in freezer till its firm to touch . This is the crumb coat . Over this spread a think layer of whipped cream. Pipe dollops of cream over the top at regular intervals . Place a cherry each on these . Sprinkle chocolate on top and sides .
Notes
Soak the cake till the syrup tents to ooze out.
Can add wine to the sugar syrup syrup to give a unique flavor or use the syrup from the cherry tin instead of sugar syrup to soak the the cake .
Turn table helps to give a smooth finish to the frosting . So rotate it throughout the frosting process .
Keep the cake under refrigeration and consume within 2 days .
I have used glazed cherries for cake in the picture .
