When you watch the video š½, Iām not piping the whipped cream to make the 8 rosettes for the top of the cake my husband is because heās so good at it! I know I need to practice to get better but David does such a good jobā¦ š. The reason behind this is our body temperature is hot so wearing them will prevent the chocolate from melting in our hands as the latex is coolerā¦ makes sense, right? When itās time to apply the shaved chocolate, I place a pizza pan under the upside-down glass bowl to catch any excess chocolate so it can be reused.

I find it makes it easier for applying the whipped cream and chocolate. When I assemble the cake š°, just like I do with my Chocolate Raspberry Cake with a Mirror Glaze, I invert a heavy glass bowl then place the removable bottom from a cake pan on top but a springform pan bottom works as well. If I get a little less, I just top it up with water or I use some of my Cherry Simple Syrup. I use MāLord brand and theyāre perfect for this recipe š! A point Iād like to mention is when I drain the liquid from the can, I usually get Ā¾ cup and itās exactly the amount I need. From July to August, we can enjoy them and thatās it until next year unless we buy them in cans. The problem with these particular cherries is they are seasonal. Could these little changes impact the results?ÄÆor my cherry filling, I donāt use fresh fruits unless I can find Bing cherries š! The other ones are okay but donāt even come close to the deliciousness of the Bingsā.
CLASSIC GERMAN BLACK FOREST CAKE RECIPE PLUS
I also sift my flour and cocoa powder plus I make sure to not overmix my batter so my Black Forest Cake is lighter. I add Powdered Sugar in my whipped cream without overdoing it and a small amount of granulated sugar in my cherry filling. Here are a few ingredients that I added/changed from my local baker I use Cherry Brandy š which tastes incredibly good! Some might use Kirsch but David doesnāt like it. Whatever the reasons were, now I love it š! Iām not sure what I didnāt like about it when I was younger but my homemade version was absolutely decadent! Perhaps my motherās bakery was adding too much whipped cream which was already overly sweet, maybe the cake was too heavy, not enough filling, or my taste buds simply evolved. After talking with my local baker who willingly shared most ingredients with me, I rolled up my sleeves and baked one. That time I wanted to make it myself š©āš³. A few years ago though, I thought I should give it another try. When I met David whose background is German, I told him to not buy a Black Forest Cake for birthdays or any other special occasion. After that, she got different ones like Saint HonorĆ©, Red Velvet, Paris-Brest, Boston Cream Pie, Baba au Rhum, and OpĆ©ra. After asking me why, I told her that I wasnāt a fan of that German confection. Actually, Iāve never been really fond of it and one day I told her to forget the cake š. When we got older, she owned two hair salons so she didnāt have time to bake us one therefore the next best thing was to buy them from the bakeryā¦ÄÆor years, every time I was going back home for my birthday, she bought me a Black Forest Cake. It couldāve been a Devilās Food Cake, Upside Down Cake, Carrot Cake, Yogurt Cake, Angel Food Cake, Chiffon Cake, and so on. When my brother and I were young, my mother š±āāļø always made sure to bake our birthday cakes š.
