  • 1 can (14 ounces) pitted cherries, drained (reserve some for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup cherry liqueur or syrup (optional)
  • Dark chocolate shavings, for decoration




Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Sponge Cake

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
  4. Add Boiling Water: Stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin; this is normal.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.

Step 2: Prepare the Whipped Cream

  1. Whip Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

Step 3: Assemble the Black Forest Cake

  1. Slice Cakes: Using a serrated knife, slice each cake horizontally into two layers.
  2. Layering: Place one cake layer on a serving platter. If using cherry liqueur or syrup, brush it over the cake layer.
  3. Add Filling: Spread a layer of whipped cream over the cake and top with a layer of cherries. Repeat with the remaining layers, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.



Step 4: Garnish and Chill

  1. Decorate: Use a vegetable peeler to create chocolate shavings from a chocolate bar. Sprinkle the chocolate shavings over the top of the cake. Garnish with reserved cherries.
  2. Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.




Happy Baking!
