@user6175470977599: German Black Forest Cake (Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte) Ingredients Chocolate Sponge Cake 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 4 large eggs, room temperature ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil Cherry Filling 2 cups cherries (fresh or canned, pitted) ½ cup (120 ml) cherry juice or syrup (from canned cherries) 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (Traditional versions use kirsch, a cherry brandy, but cherry juice works perfectly for a non-alcoholic version.) Whipped Cream 3 cups (720 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Decoration Chocolate shavings or curls Whole cherries, for topping Directions 1. Make the Chocolate Cake Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans. In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and thick (about 5 minutes). Gently mix in vanilla and oil. Fold in dry ingredients carefully until just combined. Divide batter evenly between pans and bake 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely, then level and slice each cake horizontally to make 4 layers. 2. Prepare the Cherry Filling In a saucepan, combine cherries, cherry juice, and sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely. 3. Whip the Cream Beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Keep chilled until ready to assemble. 4. Assemble the Cake Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread whipped cream, then spoon over some cherry filling. Repeat layers, finishing with whipped cream on top and sides. 5. Decorate Press chocolate shavings onto the sides. Pipe whipped cream rosettes on top and garnish with cherries. Tips for Best Results Chill the cake before slicing for clean layers Use a serrated knife for cutting The cake tastes even better after resting in the fridge for a few hours
