Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the base of 3 x 20cm cake tins. Boil the kettle. Put the butter and 75g chocolate broken into chunks in a small pan and gently heat, stirring, until completely melted.
- Mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda with a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk the eggs and buttermilk or yogurt together. Scrape the melted chocolate mixture and egg mixture into the dry ingredients, add 100ml boiling water and whizz briefly with an electric whisk until the cake batter is lump free.
- Divide the mixture between the tins and bake for 25 mins, swapping the tins round after 20 mins if they're on different shelves. To test they're done, push in a skewer and check that it comes out clean.
- Prick the cakes a few times with a skewer. Mix together the 2 tbsp reserved cherry juice and the kirsch (or more juice) and drizzle over the cakes. Cool the cakes.
- Mix together the remaining drained cherries and jam. Tip 200ml of the cream into a small pan and heat until just below simmering point. Chop the remaining chocolate and put in a heatproof bowl, pour over the hot cream and stir until melted. Set aside until spreadable.
- When the cakes are cool whisk the remaining cream and the icing sugar together until softly whipped. Spread over two of the cakes, then spoon over the jammy cherries. Stack the cakes together. Spread the chocolate cream over the third cake and sit on top of the other cakes. Pile the fresh cherries in and around the cake and serve

BLACK FOREST CAKE
Steps:
- For the cake: Make the cake according to the package instructions, but substitute half of the water with coffee, and the other half with buttermilk (most likely it will call for 1 cup total of water). Bake in two 8-inch round cake pans according to package instructions. Let the cakes cool completely.
- For the cream: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream, sugar and almond extract together in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
- For the cherries: Combine the cherries and kirsch in a small bowl.
- To assemble: Use a serrated knife to cut the cakes in half horizontally. Create layers of cake, cherries and whipped cream, repeating. Top the cake with whipped cream, a few cherries and chocolate shavings.
AUTHENTIC BLACK FOREST CAKE (SCHWARZWALD KIRSCH KUCHEN)
This cake isn't meant to be very sweet but is rather a dessert for adults with deep rich flavours and enough alcohol to make your head spin! If you cannot get fresh cherries you can use canned Bing cherries but please do not use cherry pie filling because it will take away from the authentic taste of the cake. If can't find Kirsch do not use another type of alcohol because it will not turn out the same - instead use cherry juice. Because of the high alcohol content only serve this to adults.

Steps:
- Pit most of the cherries leaving about 10 for decoration on top of the cake. Take the pitted cherries and soak them in a jar of the 1/2 cup Kirsch overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Line the bottom of three 9 inch round cake pans with parchment.
- Sift the dry cake ingredients together.
- Cream the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk and mix well.
- Pour evenly into the cake pans. Bake for 20 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
- Cool and remove the cakes. Prick the tops of the cakes with a toothpick and pour the 1/2 cup of Kirsch (that the cherries soaked in) onto the cake.
- In a bowl beat the butter until light and creamy. Add the icing sugar, salt and espresso and mix well. If the icing is too thick add Kirsch or cherry juice.
- Cut the cherries into halves.
- Place the base layer on top of your cake tray, spread 1/2 of the filling over one top, cover with cherries and top with another layer of cake.
- Spread the second half of the filling over that layer of cake, cover with cherries and top with the third layer of cake. Cover this and let sit in the fridge for a day or two to allow the kirsch to soak into the cake and become moist.
- The day you're going to serve this cake prepare the icing. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Gently fold in the dry milk and icing sugar.
- Add the vanilla and pour in the Kirsch until it's a good consistency.
- If you like more icing double this recipe. Spread the icing over all of the cake.

BLACK FOREST CAKE
Some historians trace this famous cherry-chocolate cake (called Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte in German) back to the 16th century, but it was most likely named and popularized by German baker Josef Keller in 1915 Germans take their world-famous dessert seriously: The cake was granted protected status by the European Commission in 2013, meaning that for a dessert to be sold as a Black Forest Cake, it must contain Black Forest kirsch, a brandy made from local cherries.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans; line the bottoms with parchment paper. Butter the parchment and dust the bottoms and sides of the pans with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess.
- Put the eggs (in their shells) in a medium bowl and cover with hot tap water; let stand 5 minutes (warming the eggs will help them whip better). Sift the cocoa powder, cake flour and salt into a medium bowl, then whisk in the almond flour; set aside.
- Remove the eggs from the water and crack into a large bowl. Add the granulated sugar and beat with a mixer on low speed to combine. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until pale, fluffy and thick, about 10 minutes. The mixture should fall off the beaters in a ribbon when lifted.
- Sprinkle one-third of the flour mixture over the egg mixture and gently fold with a whisk until combined. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture in two batches, adding the vanilla with the final addition. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes pull away from the sides of the pans and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Immediately run a small offset spatula around the edges to loosen. Let the cakes cool 5 minutes in the pans, then remove to a rack, parchment-side down, and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the whipped cream: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan (the cornstarch will help stabilize the whipped cream). Slowly add 3/4 cup heavy cream, whisking, until a paste forms. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring, until thick and bubbling, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl, place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate until completely cooled, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the filling: Bring the cherries, cherry syrup, kirsch and granulated sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the almond extract and transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Finish the whipped cream: Beat the remaining 2 1/4 cups cold heavy cream and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. With the mixer running, add the cooked cream mixture and beat until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Drain the cherries and reserve the syrup. Discard the parchment from the cakes. Trim a thin layer off the top of each cake with a long serrated knife. Put one cake cut-side up on a cake stand or serving plate and brush with half of the reserved syrup. Spread about 1 cup whipped cream over the top in a thin layer, then top with all but 1/4 cup cherries. Spread 1 cup whipped cream over the cherries in a thin layer. Top with the remaining cake and brush with the remaining syrup. Spread 1 1/2 cups whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake in a thin layer (some crumbs are OK). Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Sprinkle the shaved chocolate around the top of the cake and press into the sides; top with the reserved cherries. Refrigerate overnight; the cake will soak up the syrup.

Bring the remaining cherry juice in a small saucepan to a simmer, remove from the heat and whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Bring back to a simmer while whisking constantly until it starts to thicken. Whisk in the cherries and remove from heat. Add about half of the kirsch to the cherries or leave it out. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- To make the whipped cream, beat 4 cups of heavy cream (depending on your mixer you might have to whip the cream in two batchein the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment at high speed until soft peaks form. Then add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes longer. The whipped cream should be very stiff and spreadable but be careful not to over-whip it. Refrigerate whipped cream until ready to assemble.
- To assemble the cake, put the cake layer that was the top before on a platter. Put the springform ring (or use a cake ring around it to make it easier to assemble the cake. Drizzle some kirsch or cherry juice over the cake, then top with half of the cherry mixture leaving a 1-inch border. Top with about 1/4 of the whipped cream, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Top with the middle cake layer and repeat drizzling with liquid, topping with cherries and cream. Put third cake layer on top (smooth side up). Set aside about ¾ cup of cream for decoration. Spread 1/3 of the remaining whipped cream on top, then remove springform ring and spread remaining cream with a spatula around the sides of the cake until completely covered in whipped cream.
- Decorate sides of the cake with grated chocolate. Pipe 16 swirls of whipped cream on top and garnish middle of the cake with remaining coarse chocolate. Put a cherry on each cream swirl and refrigerate cake until serving.

BLACK FOREST CHERRY CAKE ROLL
This chocolate-and-cherry cake is great for the holidays -- or whenever you need a special dessert. Since it's from scratch homemade it's a bit labor intensive but you get the satisfaction of being able to tell the folks at the table "Why yes, I made it myself". You can bake the cake the day before and that is a big help.

Steps:
- For cherry filling, stir together the 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch in a small saucepan. Stir in the 2 tablespoons water. Add cherries. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in 1-1/2 teaspoons cherry liqueur or brandy. Cover surface with plastic wrap; cool.
- For cake, grease and lightly flour a 15x10x1-inch baking pan; set aside. Combine flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a small mixing bowl; set aside. Beat egg yolks and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add the 1/3 cup granulated sugar, beating on high speed until sugar is almost dissolved.
- Wash beaters thoroughly. Beat egg whites in a large mixing bowl on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Fold egg yolk mixture into egg white mixture. Sprinkle flour mixture over egg mixture; fold in gently just until combined. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake in a 375°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately loosen edges of cake from pan; turn cake out onto a towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Roll towel and cake into a spiral, starting from a long edge. Cool on a wire rack.
- For chocolate buttercream: Stir together 1/3 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a heavy small saucepan. Bring to boiling. Remove from heat. Gradually stir about half of the sugar mixture into 2 slightly beaten egg yolks. Return all of the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil; reduce heat (mixture may look curdled but will become smooth). Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
- Add 1-1/2 teaspoons cherry liqueur or cherry brandy, if desired. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Cool to room temperature. Beat unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Add cooled egg yolk mixture and melted chocolate, beating until combined. If necessary, chill until mixture is of spreading consistency.
- To assemble, unroll cake. Spread cake with chocolate buttercream to within 1/2 inch of edges. Spread cherry filling lengthwise over buttercream layer in a 1-1/2-inch-wide band, starting 1/2 inch from a long edge. Roll up cake without the towel, starting with long edge closest to filling. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 hours.
- To serve, cut cake roll into 1-inch-thick slices. Garnish slices with chocolate curls, if desired. Makes 15 servings.
- Make-ahead tip: Bake, roll, and cool cake as directed. Place cake, with towel, in large airtight container or wrap well with foil. Chill up to 24 hours. Let stand about 30 minutes at room temperature before unrolling and filling.

BLACK FOREST CAKE
A German cherry cake based on a recipe from McCall's Cooking School, page #41 under Cakes, Cookies. The intro says, "One taste of this fabulous dessert and you'll understand why it is the most famous dessert of the Black Forest region of Germany. Three layers of cake are drizzled with a cherry-brandy syrup and then filled with brandied cherries and whipped cream. The cake is frosted with more whipped cream and garnished with shaved chocolate and chocolate curls. It is so spectacular that you should skip dinner and just invite guests over for coffee and dessert!" I couldn't agree more. I first made this for my step-son's high school German class' Oktoberfest potluck. He recently flew back into town for the weekend and I made it for his birthday. It is a bit of work but so fun to put together and so delicious. It is a light and airy sponge cake with just a hint of cherry brandy (kirsch). My step-son thinks this would be great with the glazed cherries doubled and placed on top of both of the bottom two layers instead of just the one. Cook time doesn't include standing time for the glazed cherries.

- Prepare the cakes according to directions in 2 8 or 9 inch rounds. Allow the cake to cool completely and remove from the pans.
- While the cakes cool, strain the heavy syrup out of the cherries into a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush the syrup all over the cake*, making sure you can get into any nooks and crannies. Reserve the left over syrup to drizzle over the cherries and whipped cream.
- While the syrup soaks into the cakes, make the whipped cream frosting. Use a hand mixer to beat the whipped cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Then dust in the powdered sugar, continuing to beat the cream until medium stiff peaks form no streaks of powdered sugar remain.
- Place one layer of the cake on a cake stand or whatever plate you are planning on serving the cake on. Spread half of the whipped cream onto the cake and top with the all drained cherries (you’ll use fresh ones for the top so no need to save any). Drizzle with some of the remaining syrup if desired, making sure you leave some of it for the top. It’s okay if this is messy! Repeat with the other cake layer and top with the fresh cherries. Drizzle with the remainder of the syrup and top with chocolate shavings if desired.

- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a 13- x 9-inch baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, allowing 2 inches of overhang on all sides. Lightly grease foil with cooking spray. Combine chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water, and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 6 minutes. Cool chocolate mixture 5 minutes. Place egg white in bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat on medium speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high, and gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Line a 13- x 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing 2 inches of overhang on 2 long sides; set aside. Combine dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water, and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in cornflakes and salt until well combined. Spread mixture in a very thin layer (about 1/8 inch thick) to completely cover bottom of prepared pan. Freeze until set, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days. Using parchment paper as handles, lift chocolate crunch from pan in one piece. Carefully remove parchment, and place chocolate crunch sheet on top of cooled cake layer in baking pan. Freeze, uncovered, while preparing mousse.
- Combine milk chocolate and dark chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 10 minutes. Let chocolate stand until slightly cool, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, beat heavy cream and salt in bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until fluffy but still pourable (not quite soft peaks), about 3 minutes. Fold half of the whipped cream into slightly cooled chocolate until combined. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream. Spread mousse on top of frozen chocolate crunch layer in baking pan. Using an offset spatula, smooth mousse to sides of pan in an even layer to completely cover surface. If needed, dip offset spatula in hot water, and dry with a towel to make top layer of mousse as level as possible. Chill, uncovered, until set, about 2 hours.
- Combine cherries and juice, pomegranate juice, and chile in a blender. Process until smooth, about 45 seconds. Pour mixture through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a bowl; discard solids. Sprinkle gelatin over 3 tablespoons cold water in a small bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together sugar and pectin in a small saucepan. Add cherry mixture and corn syrup to sugar mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-high, whisking often. Boil, whisking constantly, 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk in bloomed gelatin until dissolved. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl, and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Pour glaze over chilled mousse layer. Tilt pan to evenly cover surface. Chill, uncovered, until glaze is set, about 1 hour. Prepared cake can be chilled up to 2 days.

- Drain the cherries over a bowl to catch the juice. Combine 2 tablespoons of the cherry juice with the Kirsch or cherry liquor and brush over each of the cake layers while they are still warm, letting the liquid soak into the cakes. Let the cakes cool completely, then wrap tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1 hour. (*See note)
- Put the chopped bittersweet chocolate into a bowl. Heat 8 ounces of the heavy cream in a saucepan or in the microwave until it is just beginning to simmer. Pour the cream over the chocolate, let it sit for 5 minutes undisturbed, then stir until all the chocolate is melted and it's perfectly smooth. Place, uncovered, in the refrigerator until thick enough to spread, stirring from time to time.
- Meanwhile, beat the remaining 12 ounces of heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Make sure to beat the cream until it's quite thick - beating it almost to the point where it begins to transform into butter.
- Combine the drained cherries with the cherry preserves, stirring gently so that you don't smash the cherries.

- Spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and make eight dips in the surface. Top each dip with 1 tsp yogurt and a cherry.

Cool in the tin for 20 mins, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
- Just before serving, use a balloon whisk or electric whisk to beat the cream until stiff. Spoon the cream onto the cake in dollops, top with the remaining cherries and drizzle over some of the cherry syrup. Serve straightaway. Leftovers will keep for up to three days in the fridge.

- Combine the eggs, flour, milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder and vegetable oil in a blender and mix until homogeneous.
- Warm a crepe pan and when hot pour in a ladleful of crepe batter. Cook on medium-high heat until the top looks set and the edges of the crepe naturally peel off the pan (about 2 minutes). Gently slide a spatula under the crepe and flip it over. Cook the other side for just about a half minute. Repeat until all of the batter has been used.
- Let crepes cool completely before moving on to the next step. If making ahead, stack them on a plate, cover with cling film and keep refrigerated.
- Optionally you can trim the edges of the crepes. Find a plate the desired size, place it on top of each crepe and run a knife around the edges. This is not an obigatory step, but helps achieve more regular edges to your cake.
