Black Forest Cake (Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte)
Black Forest Cake comes from the Black Forest region of Germany. It’s a party cake!
I like to use Gateau de Savoie du Chocolat recipe to make the cake moist and full of chocolate favor! The cherry juice is used to soak the chocolate genoise to accentuate the cherry flavor of this dessert and to moisten the cake. And a little Kirsch to intensify the cherry flavor of the syrup! This recipe I learnt from Baking talk group and Joy of Baking! Thanks Chef Stephanie and Sato Hiroko! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

Quick & Simple Black Forest Cake Quick & Simple Black Forest Cake
My daughter wanted this for her birthday but she does not really like whipped cream or cool whip. She wanted to take it to work to share so the simple option was only cool whip between layers.

Perfect Black Forest Gateau Perfect Black Forest Gateau
Black Forest gateau or cake is a classic but very delicious cake.It is a minimum 3 layers chocolate cake, filled with vanilla whipped cream and canned cherry between layers. The side of the cake is covered wity shredded chocolate.It's been a long time since I eat a delicious Black Forest cake. I cannot find a decent black forest to enjoy, so I try to make it myself.I don't like the first recipe that I tried. The cake is dry and crumbly, and the filling also not so good.But then I found this recipe. It's like finding gold haha... I gather myself to try this recipe. And the result is this is it. This is the one I like. The cake is chocolate sponge, the filling is whipped cream and tons of cherry.Soo gooooddddd.... I'm so happy
