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.

- GARNISH:.
- Using a vegetable parer, scrape across chocolate to make curls; refrigerate until needed. Loosely grate remainder of chocolate bar and refrigerate until ready to garnish.
- GLAZED CHERRIES:.

- Sift sifted flour with cocoa; fold into egg mixture in fourths, using a wire whisk or rubber spatula. Fold in butter, in fourths, until just combined. Gently turn into prepared pans. Bake 15 minutes or until surface springs back when pressed with finger.
- Place pans on wire rack and cool 5 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely.
- SYRUP:.
- In a small saucepan, stir granulated sugar and ½ cup water over medium heat to dissolve sugar. Bring to boil and boil 5 minutes. Cool, and stir in kirsch.

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
